A TRS plug should work just as well as a TS since the ring isn’t used and only the tip and the sleeve are making connections.

So long as the connection on the socket in the device contacts the ground sleeve it will work fine.

I have a short Moon Audio coaxial cable specifically for a Fiio DAP with a TS plug at the other end. For one certain type of plug option they offer, a right angled one I think, Moon use a TRS instead of TS, I assume because a right angled TS was not available.

I've been told that due to economies of scale TRS plugs are cheaper, as well as more readily available, then TS. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds plausible.

So basically this adapter should work, correct?

Correct

Correct

Then i dont understand why the adapter is not working for me. Meanwhile, the more i research this the more i find all kinds of other pin out configurations for the Mojo's coaxial input, below is just another example.
I don't know what to try next.

The plug in the image above is exactly the same end result as your adapter, the middle ring is not used only the tip and the sleeve.

Trust me, the configuration at the mojo end is not your problem.

These are pictures of my custom Fiio to Mojo cable. Ignore the TRRS four pole plug, that is Fiio specific, the TS two pole end is for the Mojo.

I have also used an adapter essentially the same as yours only a straight one not a right angle.

Thank you so much BS5711, this is very valuable info and i appreciate the supporting photos.
My next step will be to test the adapter with a different source to see if i can make it work with the Mojo.
Again, a BIG thank you for your help!

My pleasure, I hope you get it working.

Guys, can you recommend me a cheap portable player with wi-fi and spdif out, which I'd use as a poor man's Poly ? Is there something that supports Tidal and MQA and is somehow controllable remotely at the same time? Or not controllable, but still a good Tidal-capable device in which I wouldn't overpay for analog features, because I only need the digital part?
I'm also considering the option without MQA support - something Android based onto which I'd be able to stream through Bubble UPnP from my phone, for example.

I recently put together a case for the Mojo, I used a hard drive case which is just right to store a charge & connect cable, the Mojo and a microfibre cloth to stop the Mojo sliding about. As you can see it has a soft divider which neatly protects the Mojo in transit or storage.

Nice.
Thanks for the reminder. ^^
Immediately put my Mojo in my WD hard case to check the size and fit.
It's a bit smaller than your case and works perfectly.
Well, the Mojo is sturdy enough to break my backpack first , but it's nice to have different options.

There must be a variety of small DAPs that can meet those requirements. I can’t recommend a particular DAP specifically as I don’t have any experience with them to know which ones have what specific features.

I use my Fiio M11 Plus essentially as you describe. It works great but it isn’t really any more cost effective than a Poly.

I bought a hiby R3 pro Sabre 2022 for that

So i jumped into mojo sound train, this is indeed a great sounding dac but i`m really disappointed with sound stage, i have beyerdynamics dt990 pro which are famous for producing amazing 3d sound stage and they even sound awesome on schiit fulla-e but over usb mojo sound straight on my face even from dt990 pro, any advice? (my laptop dont have optical out to try, i read in the forums that it sound much wider when its driven through optical)

 

[kr0gg]

I'm not sure it is supposed to drive 990's. Those are 250ohm or something like that?

yes they are 250ohms, its driving them fine but i`m used to wider sound stage from them as compare to what im listening through mojo
