I have been using the original mojo with the R3 for years, and have been using it with both the Hiby USB-C to Coax cable and the Shanling L2 USB-C to Micro USB cable.Got my Mojo 2 today and just wanted to ask whar is the best way to concocted to HiBy R3? Via USB-C -> USB-C
or
USB-C -> and cox, toslink.. etc?
So confused sorry, Thanks!
The L2 sounds a bit brighter, the coax cable a bit smoother, cleaner and darker. Since the coax is also mechanically more robust I have been using it now for a long time.
The disadvantage of the coax cable is that the volume control of the R3 remains active - so you have to be careful to always keep the R3 at full volume to prevent any processing of the digital data in the R3. At least I hope that at 100% volume the R3's sound processor is bypassed and the digital data is not changed in any form.
I love this stack, the form factor is good and I can operate both the Mojo and the R3 blind.
But there is one issue - the original Mojo has RFI when the R3's Wifi is enabled and they are stacked. This makes it impossible to use the R3's Tidal implementation.
The workaround is to connect the Mojo to the PC (which is a bad USB source) or the phone, in my case iPhone, with an additional MEENOVA Lightning to micro-USB cable.
Could you check if you get interference when you stack the Mojo2 and the R3 with active Wifi? It would be great if the Mojo 2 would solve that issue.
