Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

Your recommendation is saved in my notes, I'll deal with cables after the speakers but will have the cash to do it properly. Actually given that there are a bunch of used active monitors half price on eBay I think I'll be getting the speakers first of all, cans and mojo to follow later.

 
You are welcome.
 
For all Mojo users here are the jack-to-phono (J2P) cables What Hi-Fi recommend.
 
QED Profile comes in J2P - five stars £18 (maybe discontinued)
QED J2P - five stars - £50
QED Reference Audio J2P - five stars - £50 (I think discontinued - still purchasable)
QED Performance Audio J2P Graphite. Don't know a rating but the phono to phono Performance audio gets 4 stars.
Chord iChord. (ebay now only I think.) Five stars. 
 
My Reference Audio added to the transparency, on the road to taking the speaker out the equation. Meaning the speakers appear to disappear. Music is transparent and appears just to be in front of you, rather than being made by speakers. Overall a good upgrade.
 
Without the Reference Audio J2P I bought, my BT3 boomed a little somewhat at certain frequencies. The sound was heavier and slightly boxy sounding also. It was slightly less nuanced, and sparkly parts were slightly less clear.
 
I also bought some Chord Clearway, which made the image just noticeably more balanced, and clearer.

Hi I have just ordered a Chord Mojo and have a question

I will be using it initially with my Xperia Z3 Compact. This phone plays Hi Res natively.

The question is will I need to use an OTG cable and an app like USB Audio Player to
A/get any sound though the Mojo and
B/Play Hires files

Thanks

If it plays Hi Res natively you shouldn't need an extra app. you will need some sort of cable to get from your phone's digital output jack to a micro USB jack on the Mojo.

Thanks good news I'd rather use the Sony 'Walkman' app

I believe Mojo comes with a micro USB to USB cable and I have other similar cables. Maybe I don't need an on the go cable for simplicity?

English to New Colony translation: here are some 3.5mm to RCA cables that are recommended.
 
I was so confused wondering what phono had to do with Mojo until I googled J2P cable and almost all of the references were British.

Yes. To take the jack-plug out of the Mojo onto phono inputs of an amplifier.

As simple as this?
