There's another file in /system/etc/ that might be worth looking into: media_codecs_google_audio.xml. Seems to have relevant settings contained therein.

Who knows what Android have done. I tried reading this and this

I'm still none the wiser

I use the ferrite choke for my coaxial cable. I don't know how to describe the sound but I like it

Have you guys who are trying to undo the Android upsampling looked at the Fiio X7's custom Android firmware? I guess Fiio will have removed the upsampling. I'm not sure how much it can help, but I thought can't hurt suggesting it

The sound is exactly the same whether you add in that choke or not...it serves to strip out RFI and EMI.

I'm using Wasapi in Foobar and MPC-Be in exclusive mode. When either of them is playing something, no other sound comes from all other Windows software, except for Google Chrome (Youtube for example). How is it possible? Does Chrome support Wasapi?
 
Please note that I have already set the Mojo (through SPDIF) as default sound device and enabled the exclusive settings.

  Anyone know the mA rating output of the MOJO, not in the spec., though I guess it can be derived from the spec.
Was just looking at Aune B1 with its 2 current settings switch '20 mA/ 40mA' and how it affects battery life by reducing it by half at the 40mA settings from 10 hours to 5.
 
Output Power @ 1KHz
600 OHMS 35mW
8 OHMS 720mW
Output Impedance: 0.075
Dynamic Range of 125dB
THD @ 3v - 0.00017%
4 Hours Charge Provides [up to] 10 Hours Play Time

Mojo's output current depends on the load as any amplifier.
Since, by maths, P=U*I & U=R*I,you can actually retrieve your current from Sandalaudio's curve below:
 
 

For example, with my ETHER C & DUM cable ( R=22 Ohms) the maximum output voltage before clipping is 9.92 Vpp (ppeak to peak) or 3,5 Vrms (=9.92/2/1.414).
Therefore it brings a maximum current of 450mA or 160mA rms.
 
Please do note that Mojo is a very powerful amplifier with even more output power than most of portable amplifiers.
IMHO, your Aune B1, will probably bring its own colour to sound but surely not more power for driving any headphones.
 
Personnally I am quietly awaiting for ALO Audio Continental V5 who should bring roughly twice Mojo's output power as well as its own coloration.

Check the sound bar on your taskbar. If in true exclusive mode, the volume (green bar) should not appear. You should not have control over Windows volume either.
 
It might also be that it is in exclusive mode only during playback. On my laptop, Chromes plays the laptop's speakers if my mojo is in exclusive mode.

Using the word "coloration" are you implying loss of details or just that adding an amp one will get more good to the music?

There is indeed no volume green bar when playing music from Foobar and Windows volume controls are unavailable.

Very weird...chrome should not be playing on your mojo while it is in exclusive mode...

Considering the Mojo's headphone out is basically the DACs line-out with digital volume control (like the Hugo, Hugo TT, and DAVE) you just can't get more transparent to the source than that. Any amp added will also adds its own distortions (loss of transparency) which may change the sound depending on the capabilities of the amp. Being a tube amp the Cv5 will more than likely have its own 'flavour' and 'colouration'.

For sonic flavour there is nothing wrong with that, it just isn't the ultimate in transparency when using Chord DACs vs their own headphone out, if that's what you are after.

I'm very sorry, I just double checked again and edited my last post. So here are my findings :
 
When Foobar (or MPC-HC) plays music, Chrome switches to the laptop speakers.
 
As soon as you close Foobar (or MPC-HC) and refresh the YT page, Chrome sends the sound through the Mojo to my headphones.
 
So I guess everything is in order

Thanks for the reply. By adding "color" that can be a bonus or being able to enjoy the added "color".

Exactly why I said nothing wrong with it. You asked about loss of details though. Distortion will lose detail but whether you hear it, or whether it's important is up to the individual :wink_face:

Yes, that's how it should be ^^
