Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
Apr 9, 2018 at 7:02 AM Post #35,851 of 42,765
Didn't have to do anything in particular and my iPhone 8+ with latest firmware runs fine with the Mojo using Apple CCK USB2.

Quick question, my Mojo stacked to my AK100ii using the Moon Audio Opt to 3.5mm is having issues with 24/192khz files, gives me a crackle/popping static, however, with any files on lower resolution, it seems to work fine.

Is this likely an issue with the cable? I've tried the AK100ii by itself and it plays the file without any issues, and Chord Mojo seems to playback from my desktop fine. Wasn't aware that a fault in the cable could cause it to not play certain resolutions.

Are there any other cable options available apart from the moon audio cables? not keen on spending 125 USD plus shipping to Australia for a replacement.

Read the faq in post #3. Some optical cables max out at 96kHz instead of 192khz.

Sorry didn't word that correctly, it was playing fine but just started having issues, trying to pin point the cause of it, first guess is that the cable is faulty but I've not seen any similar issues or haven't been searching the correct key words.

Perfect. I was just going to add your CCK 2 failure.
BTW I edited the correct handle to @DavidW (not DawidW as I previously reported him, sorry for that David)

Other than this: I also experienced failure with my own CCK 2 (Model Number A1440, FW 1.0.0, Hardware Version 1.0.0).
My iPhone recently asked me to upgrade CCK 3.0 (to FW 1.05 that is) and that was BEFORE upgrading to iOS 11.3 .
It looks like CCK 2.0 it is NOT enabled to be upgraded OTF whilst the opposite helds true for CCK 3.0 .

IMPORTANT EDIT:
Users of CCK 2.0 please add your FW and HW versions

Thanks

I feel like the latest iOS update doesn't break the support for CCKs for all but what it does is it corrupts some settings or OS files. Did you guys try resetting settings or just wiping your devices and reinstall iOS from scratch? I bet one of these will fix it for you.

In the meantime I would not upgrade to the latest version if you didn't already, because it looks some random crap breaks the CCKs independent of which version it is.

Always used DAPs with my Mojo and Hugos. But curios to try iPhone 6S and iPad (2017) so just going to order an Apple CCK from Amazon, as few quid cheaper than Apple site. Read post 3, but not clear on if there is any disadvantage buying latest USB3 rather than USB 2 CCK?

Higher speeds for transferrring files between phone and computer is one advantage possibly.

I think the only disadvantage is size. Neither are great portable solutions. The cables always seem to fail at the lightning connector side for me.

I’ve chewed through three in two years. They get used daily though.

What do you refer at FW and HW versions?

I bought 2x CCK (USB2) in last 3 years. Using daily as well. The first CCK failed on lightning side.

Go to your iOS device Settings/General/About and you will see the CCK hv and fv info.
