thanks alot. What differences have you noticed using that cable?

Convenience for starters. Sounds better than cheap otg connectors supplied with mobiles. Worth the $29

Sound qualities did improve BUT for me, it was at the cost of transparency. It was like a veil had been added.

Rob describes the difference as smoother, warmer, less sibilance, and glare. In the past he has also described RF as adding a false sense of detail in the way of brightening the sound. I suppose that in the end it's a matter of preference but it seems your findings aren't too dissimilar to Rob's. In the end which ever gives the most preferred sound to you is the one I'd always recommend.

does it reduce the the emi static noise? Its pretty unbearable and really getting to me between songs

  My Mojo is about to arrive, meanwhile I've got an Anker PowerPort 5 and a PowerLine Micro USB (this one, 1.8m lenght https://www.anker.com/products/A8133011) for charging as suggested somewhere in this thread. Now, I would use Mojo also as a desktop DAC...how can I connect it to my desktop PC? Is it ok to use the PowerLine Micro USB cable or it's only for charging? The USB cable supplied with Mojo is obviously too short for this purpose.

 
I am using a similar Anker cable for data/audio and can't hear a difference between it and the OTG cable included w/ the Mojo (or any other decent quality USB cable I've tried). That said, I've never claimed to clearly hear a difference between USB cables (unless comparing a decent quality cable w/ a complete crap one) so consider my opinion if you will
 
Here's the Anker cable I'm using btw: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019Q3T7YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Peon audio cable. Arrived a few days back. Works well.

Nice, would you be able to provide a link for the cable please?

@Mython I didnt know, just figured I'd try.

Looks like an updated version (right-angled plugs) of the one linked in post #3:

New mojo owner here.Arrived early today and have been charging it for 5 hours and the white battery light switched off.Should i just leave it  till it reaches the recommended 10h first charge as the unit seems to be cooling off to the touch.I am assuming this is to maximize battery life cycle as the charger seems to disconnect after battery is fully charged.

As stated in post #3, when the white charging LED goes off, Mojo is ready to run, so it's time to take a seat, strap yourself in and...

The ten hours applies if Mojo has been in long term storage and the battery is completely flat. So it won't apply now as units are only a few weeks old.
 
If the white light goes off, it is not charging.

Regarding the ferrite chokes, what is the general consensus on them? Do they actually do anything? I've found the pure silver micro to micro usb otg cable on an auction site for £24 approx and wondering if its easier to just go with that. Not sure ferrite chokes could be added to that though. The interference is doing my nut in...

If anyone is looking for a budget solution for Optical from an AK unit to the Mojo, this is the way I went......
 
Fiio L12S
 

 
3.5mm to standard adapter plug from ebay
 

 

[Mython]

I appreciate that you're suggesting a low-cost compromise option, but I understand that it's really not a good idea to use adapters with optical gear - they can substantially lower the efficiency of light transmission, which is already fraught with problems, at the best of times.
 
Have you tried the L12s + adapter when sending 24/192?

At this point if any phone to mojo cable doesn't have significant RF/EMI elimination cababilities, i'm not interested. Who cares about sparkly highs when you hear beep, pop and hum the whole song . Shoutout to everyone in an office with poor reception and using a phone w/mojo.

Do you have your phone stuck on or close to your Mojo when listening?

Not meaning to play devil's advocate here but why not use a longer USB OTG cable and place it a few inches or feet away from your phone? If you've got a phone constantly rattling the sound looking for a signal when reception is bad then just switch it to Airplane mode and store some of your Spotify or Tidal for offline use. Hell I have unlimited verizon with my Nexus 6 and I still keep a few Tidal playlists offline just in case I'm stuck somewhere with no signal. 
 
Not trying to step on any toes, just offering alternatives and workarounds.
