I have one of the forza cck replacement cables on order. Just waiting for the darn thing to arrive. I am hoping it works without any issues. Will kkep you posted once it arrives
Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent cable to go from Mojo to Apple CCK?
I am not a cable believer in terms of affecting SQ but I would like a well built short cable. The original supplied has died.
I am baffled why Chord use such a poor connection as micro USB.
I'm not interested in their add on module. Looks clunky to me and renders the original case useless.
Forza Audio has a cable with the MFI built in, you have to ask for it as its not on his site yet. This will eliminate that pesky CCK.
I recall seeing a custom Lightning to micro USB cable mentioned (here I believe) for Mojo interconnect that actually includes the innards of the official Apple CCK adapter. I have looked at the cables in the 3rd post and can't confirm if it's one of those or not. I've also searched the thread but haven't run across it again. Does anyone else remember this cable and can direct me to the post(s)?
I bet your thinking of the one made by Forza Audio. It's not on there website yet but will be soon.
A word of warning about Forza - in my experience, their communication is terrible. Terrible as in non-existent.
It seems some people have a good customer service experience with them, but erratic/inconsistent customer service makes me nervous, and we saw something very similar with Dyson, a while back, and look how that snowballed.
As for the Forza website needing updating with the MFI-circumvention cable, well, 3 months have gone by and nothing has changed in that regard:
I suppose they may be wary of listing an CCK-circumvention product, but, overall, I'm not impressed when a company ignores me and also doesn't bother to list one or more of their products on their own website. It just doesn't strike me as professional.
Hi,
New (relatively, 2 months) Mojo-er here, just wondering if the3rd post is more or less up to date with respect to direct Lightning —> micro-USB cable options (those that include a MFi chip to circumvent the Apple CCK)?
I see people talking about these but is there a clear reliable option (seems not)?
From the 3rd post, looks like the Penon Audio “pure silver decoding cable” is a go-to option but at $130US is a bit spendy. Below that is a much more reasonably priced version that looks very similar, shipping from Hong Kong on Ebay from bigbargainonline. Are these in fact the same cable? See many other cheaper Ebay options as well.
I’m guessing there’s no clear winner? I’m on iPhone 7+ running iOS 10.1.1. Use with SE846 and Senn HD 580 (and soon Massdrop 6XX!).
Thanks for any thoughts on the matter. Apologies if this is well-travelled ground, as it looks to be (I did read the 3rd post )…

Thanks! I think I will roll the dice on one of the ~$30-40 cables. Will report back!

That may be, he is extremely busy and does frequently apologize for his late reply's or updates.
Just ordered direct today. Cost about $450 all said and done...assuming I don't get any additional charges.
