There's still a lot of work to be done, but overall, I find it less intuitive, harder to discover new threads, almost impossible to find a thread, and no way to search within a thread. I've actually found that it is easier to find threads if you google them. They should also add the shortcuts to your alerts, messages, etc on the front page.

There's a couple of threads that are actively monitored by the admins so you can vent your concerns or add suggestions there, which would more productive than in this thread.

Also, search works just fine within threads. Use the big search box on the top of the page and select 'Search This Thread Only'.. See the attached pic.

Not when you consider that the designer feels connecting to a headphone amp is a downgrade in transparency.
I see, but would there be any differens in audio quality with those two different types of connection. I am thinking similar to balanced inputs vs single ended in a headphone amp but i guess rca left right vs mini jack rca is not that diffrent in terms of sound quality output.

I doubt anyone would objectively be able to tell a difference between a 3.5mm and RCA connection. Differences between balanced vs single ended has to do with the topology of the DAC or amp where you hear the differences, which has much more potential to heard.

Apple Releases iOS 10.3.2 With Multiple Bug Fixes and Security Updates
https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/15/apple-releases-ios-10-3-2/

Thnx for the tip!

Updated my iPhone yesterday evening.. been using the Mojo (with Penon Audio Pure Silver Decoding Cable) for 3 hours total without one single dropout.
I used to have dropouts every few minutes, so it looks promising.

Let's see, will report back if something changes!

Uuuummm it looks like working only with last Apple products of iPad Pro and iPhone 7 but not previous one. Fortunately my old iPod Touch 5G left at iOS 9.3.2 and Meenova cable works but not with my iPad mini 2. Ggggrrrr, thinking on getting X5 3rd gen and connect to Mojo through coaxial and forget forever Apple for music

It is a good question. I suspect you will here a bigger difference between different quality cables and connectors than you will hear between rca left right vs mini jack. I use the mini jack as a pre out to drive a power amp. It took me a while to find a cable/connectors that I was happy with, but now I am very pleased.

I have this:
http://penonaudio.com/Lightning-Pure-Silver-Decoding-Cable

It worked flawlessly until iOS update 10.3.1
After that I was experiencing a lot of dropouts (like everyone else) but after yesterdays iOS update (10.3.2) it seems fine (for now..)

@junix Which Apple device are you using?
@Dieling I use only Meenova cables, very well built, reliable although a little longer than I expected
This for Apple http://meenova.com/st/p/lgtnmuc.html
This for Android USB Type C http://meenova.com/st/p/mbc_c2mu.html

By the way, probably someone has already asked, can someone recommend a high quality short cable from USB-C to micro USB so I can use my Samsung Galaxy S8+ with the mojo? Thanks.

But balanced doesn't necessarily mean better... Just my two cents...

Just to report back on the iPhone issue. I am using iPhone 7+ (red) with the Mojo on iOS 10.3.1, with a direct connection cable which gets rid of the camera kit. Works like a charm.
