Hi,

In "Audio MIDI SETUP", should you always choose 768 000 Hz as the format? Or which one is the best? Which format did you guys pick for your Mojo? And should you just pick it once and be done with it? Should you change format depending on what goes through the Mojo?

My other DAC (the DAC for my speakers) has many more alternatives to pick from (it's the Gustard X12, actually bought it for the Auedeze LCD-2 I've previously had).

Thanks in advance!

It's easier to use a bit perfect player like "Vox", which will bypass this system default value.

OS X doesn't have those options FYI

I've bought the Apple CCK with USB3.0 connection and I am still experiencing audio interruptions on my Mojo, without moving the cables. I am using Kaisertone.
Has anyone tried one of the below cables? Would they work, at least for getting the sound and then supposing that Apple with fix the audio issue?

Has anyone tried these cables?

Regarding the Lavricables, I've got the below message this week:

Currently there are issues with ios10.3.1-10.3.3. Lightning mojo/ hugo interconnect cable does not support them since apple screwed up smth so that some of the apple's own cck are not working with these ios as well as reported on headfi.
If you run any version prior to these, cable will work fine and could be made, just let me know.

Any comments or thoughts?

Does BitPerfect work with Spotify, tidal, youtube, as well? Or is it dedicated for itunes?

Could you also recommend a good application for an iPhone? Right now I am only using the cck + micro usb cable and then I just play sounds on my device. Both from spotify, tidal and so on.

Man I can't even use exclusive mode. I try it and first my PC gets a BSOD, then nothing plays upon next boot. It's maddening.

I had the same problem. Installing new Mojo drivers on top of the old ones fixed the issue for me.

The most popular comment has tended to be 'don't use Apple equipment as your music source - use Android instead' - but that is probably not the answer that you wanted.

You don't state which version of iOS you are using, so I have to assume that at best it is 10.3.3. If so then there is no benefit changing to another cable - most people report that the interruptions still persist with 10.3.3 and the USB 3 CCK cable, but some people do report success, although it is not clear why this setup works ok for them, but not other people. At the moment, if you buy another cable, it is highly likely that you will be throwing your money down the drain.

The most positive thing that can be said is that some people are now reporting success with the iOS11 beta release and USB3 CCK, so the solution for you could be try the beta, then upgrade to the public release when available.

Spotify, Tidal HiFi, and iTunes are all 16/44.1 so if you don't want to use another piece of software just set the Midi controller to 16/44.1.

It's not a solution to use Android instead iOS. Personally I don't want to switch to Android just for listening music and I am interested in finding solutions for my existing iOS device. I am also against buying a DAP running Android, when I do have an iPhone.
I will wait until autumn, when iOS11 will be released. I am not in rush right now, it's just that I don't want to use the CCK adapter with my Mojo. I would prefer a direct Lightning to Micro-USB cable.

If your rely on Maps on your iPhone, stay away from the IOS 11 beta. The built in map app isn't working properly in dev4

I don't own a Mojo but have been seriously considering one over the past few weeks, however from looking through this thread it seems like the Penon Silver Lightning to Micro-USB cable is a very reliable option to bypass the CCK because it seems to actually have a CCK chip inside.

It is quite expensive, but seems short and convenient and you don't have to use or buy a CCK for $30-$40 and then the Chord Accessories Pack for another $90.

This cable is also in the 3rd post FAQ. It's what I would be getting if I decide to pull the trigger, however I may want to wait until iOS 11 release and new iPhone announcement first.

Tidal HiFi is most definitely not always 44.1 if you get the Masters.

130USD + shipping + import taxes, shipped from Hong Kong. Tell me where I can buy the parts and I will ship a custom-made cable from Sweden with 50USD/cable to everyone who wants one.

Do you have to use an Apple licensed chip, to communicate between the cable and the IOS device?
If so, how much does Apple charge for the license?

 

[126045]

Does the Lavricables has such chip inside its one of the connectors?
