I’ve done it a few times. No issues. Enjoy!
wont damage. as if you connect it to PC it will obviously be sending power to the audio USB port. The middle 2 lines are for Audio. the lines on the side are for power in a USB. If mojos audio port's power lines arent connected to the board, then I think it will never damage even if your power source is 10 A. :wink: I recently bought a 1 € cable and a FiiO CL06 Cable for the Mojo. I avoided the Shanling cable only because it looked not durable, even though the target audience is ppl who use it portable. There is a review in youtube mentioning that it did not alter the sound. I guess to have an audible improvement , u need a cable like Cinnamon by Audioquest.

This adapter will work if you already have SPDIF Coaxial cable.

These are both mono, me thinks....The cable recommended by DjBobby above is the one I want, but they don't ship to my country, unfortunately.

However, it baffles me that Chord didn't see fit to include such a cable or at least an adapter in their "Mojo mega-package" (https://chordelectronics.co.uk/product/mojo-cable-pack/)

They are not mono. Coaxial only uses one line. Look on the back of any DAC. Or output from a CD player, or hifi tuner.

That‘s how S/PDIF coxial works - you have signal and you have ground. There is only one digital stream, the stereo, or surround information is encoded into that stream.
