Nobody?

I'll give it a go since you haven't gotten other responses. I have both the TT2/MS and Mojo2. Certainly, the Mojo2 is a couple of tiers down, imo. That said, the Mojo2 does have the family resemblance. I use both with Roon (Poly/Mojo2). It's a wonderful substitute for when I'm moving around the house. hth

OTG type of usb C needed?

If it is a phone or tablet to the Mojo2, yes. However, thunderbolt cables work spectacularly well. They have the built in "handshake" technology the OTG cables also have.

I know the usb c cable works, been chargingy phone from the laptop normal usb with it, used the same for the mojo with no success. Annoying as it's not a portable product yet

Even if it's not the cable, it is always the cable.

Good news is you can get reliable, quality USB C cables for inexpensive to absurdly expensive.

I'm partial for portable use the Fiio USB C OTG cable.

Ah ok. Oppo X5

I'll have to resort to that if the usb-c to micro cable I dug up doesn't work

Ok, you’re raising a point that I didn’t think much about. I’m using a hybrid amp (tubes -> solid state) that may in part explain the differences I’m hearing going from Mojo to external amp.

Tubes even in their cleanest implementation create harmonic distortion and will change the Mojo2 sound. I find I prefer that sound. The only SS amp I use frequently is the Naim Uniti Atom HE. The built-in DAC and amp section rival my tube setups.

I have a problem with high bitrate streaming through my Mojo 2. When the bitrate is above roughly 4000kBps there is no sound from my amplifier (the track is still playing in the streaming app). When I swapped the Mojo 2 out for a Schiit dac, the music played as it should.

That looks like a video bitrate, not an audio one. What source? What connection types? Same cable for both DACs?

 

[jhnpennington]

The source is a Wiim Pro, streaming Qobuz via optical (same value for both days).. Yes, the 4000 hbps is correct. It gets higher than that, though. Hotel California by Eagles streams at 5153 kbps. No problems at all using Schiit Modi Multibit 2.

If I am using optical and the rare track with a bitrate higher than 192k plays, I get this behavior. As @Hypops asked, what connection type, source, bitrate, etc.?

I replied to @Hypops just before your reply. There is a lot of music at high bitrates on Qobuz. Just checked out another artist and Don't Know Why by Norah Jones is at 5591 kbps

 

[Gww1]

Are you using Optical input? according to the Mojo 2 specs it handles up to 96Khz optical input, could that be the issue?

If possible, try running USB into the Mojo 2. Could be something funky with the optical chain somewhere (Wiim output, cable, or Mojo input).

Looks like you've hit the nail firmly on the head. Excellent. Thank you.

Been charging the mojo with a blue flashing battery light for aaaaages in the laptop, never once going into desktop mode. Is the battery effed?
