Possibly but odd that it's fine with Tidal on my iPhone in that case!

Different app obviously.

Various forums seem to be littered with queries that are about anomalies with Tidal and various gear, the comments always seem to come back to the same thing, it's a Tidal app problem not a gear problem. My observations are the same, it works flawlessly on some platform but not others.

Seem to have sorted the issue - turns out I was due a MacBook software update. Brain isn't working today...thanks anyway

Tidal streaming is sluggish on windows, particular when I am doing online update and backup ( which I do every 10 minute for my thesis).

Tidal streaming is more stable on phone

Tidal has long term peculiarities with what it DRM policy will allow. I think the DRM differs slightly depending on whether you use hardware, or streaming, it via app, or try to save local tidal files offline. Read like more hassle than I had the motivation to explore deeper.

Does the Mojo 2 require a specific OTG cable if using type C to C connection, eg from a phone with USB C port?

I use the original Mojo currently and can easily find type C to micro USB cables on eBay but not many C to C cable stating OTG.

I use one to ensure the phone initialises UAPP.

Thanks for the link, the cable is honestly overpriced though. I can find USB C to micro USB cables for very cheap on eBay for the OG Mojo and they work perfectly, but almost no USB C to C cables available.

I have a USB C to C ddHiFi cable which I used for a previous DAC and the build quality is worth the additional cost, but it's very short. I'd like a cable around 1m length.

I have the DDHifi as well, tbh I'm not bothered about a few pounds when Mojo was 500.

It works well

True, the issue is the length really. I suppose the easiest option is to keep using the micro USB port which is still there.

I'm also a UAPP user so this kind of cable is essential.

I use this Ugreen Usb C to Usb C cable, with the angled connections it fits the ports very securely whilst using with my iPad Pro to mojo 2, works perfectly well and I haven’t had any issues with pops or the dreaded loud static/volume

Regular Type-C to Type-C will work fine. You could also use micro USB Input (Type-C to Micro).

Thia ugreen cable works..I am using magnetic micro USB plug to avoid disconnection.

I’m using an AudioQuest USB C to C from my iPad. Zero problems ever.

I do this as well. Super convenient.

I try to put these magnetic connectors on all my equipment that I rarely need to transfer data or have a separate charging port.

I guess my next question is whether, putting EQ and crossfeed aside, is the sound upgrade worth an extra £300 upgrading from OG Mojo?
