I also use a wireless keyboard and mouse on my work/home office HP Z Book which I occasionally use with various DAC/Amps.

I use a Microsoft Surface Keyboard and Mouse and like them, no key lighting though, I am not sure how common that is on a bluetooth keyboard since they are only powered by a couple of small batteries.

More importantly I don't believe there is any downside to using them in terms of sound quality of connected devices.

What you do want to avoid is using a USB-C hub.

I have a second Dell screen that has a built in hub which connects the screen and powers the laptop. While great in terms of other functionality there is some audio downsides. If I use a connected audio device with the laptop plugged into the second screen, and thus the hub and power, I can hear annoying scraping sort of noise when moving the mouse. If I removed the screen by simply unplugging the USB-C the noise disappears and I can use the mouse connected to the laptop without issue. I have read other references to audio issues with USB-C hubs, presumably the downside of having so much happening over one small cable.

Thank you for sharing our experience, I went on and ordered this one, it will arrive the day after tomorrow and then we will see

For anyone traveling to the UK and interested in buying a Mojo 2, bear in mind that if you buy a Mojo 2 from a retailer and have DHL pick it up and deliver it to your home country, you can save the VAT getting a 20% discount. Between exchange rate variations and VAT refund, pricing can be really attractive.

p.s. Btw I bought mine from Richer Sounds and reclaiming VAT ended up requiring support from my credit card provider as Richer Sounds dropped the ball. However, that was a Richer Sounds issue, as had not problems with other retailers in London

I did the reverse!
I purchased a pair of $1300 headphones, used my address in UK and my UK bank card to pay for it, so no US sales tax was charged.
I asked the guy to deliver it to a "care of" address in USA!
I did bring it back to UK, so nobody was cheated.
Tax would have been about $100.
If travelling to UK, and staying less than a month (I think) just buy whatever you want, keep the receipt, go to airport early, and there is a VAT refund office there.
Just submit your receipts, fill a form and the office refunds your taxes.

Hard to bring speakers to the VAT refund office - which BTW I was told is no longer available in the airport (but I did not check). Mojo 2 plus Poly in the US would be $1,600. In the UK it was 1,000 GBP - which with exchange rate at the time and VAT refund, ended up being $800. Was kind of surprised it worked out . . .

Great deal. Bravo!

Two years ago the vat refund office was there at Heathrow airport, I took my niece to it, she got her refunds.
they only ask for receipts , and you must declare you are taking them with you .

Yes. I think a greater majority of all Blu-ray players will have optical out.

Mine doesn't lol

Any mid to low end DAPs with optical out to pair with the Mojo 2.

Correction. I’ll revise my statement that most Sony Blu-ray players have optical out.

You can also buy a hdmi to optical converter to strip the audio channel out of the hdmi signal from the Blu-ray player.

Tbh I was asking more about size , my question was poorly worded, the important thing is small size. Think I'll just get a small cd transport there are a few to choose from , will sit on the dvd

I had the same question some time back and was only able to find some old Fiio DAPs and xDuoo X10T II that had Optical Outputs.

I've noticed something every time I'm listening to the Mojo 2 and I'm not sure if it's my brain adjusting to the sound or if it's the Mojo 2 but for the first few minutes of listening, I notice some minor harshness in the sound and after more than 5-10 mins of listening this goes away and everything sounds smooth and good. Does any one else notice this phenomenon?
