How did we end up writing about fruit pies? pmsl 
What? Fruit pies? yummy. Be messy plugging Mojo in to that though.


Well at least it's better than what happened in that famous apple pie scene from the teen flick "American Pie" ...remember that lol.
"We'll just tell your mom that we ate it all" lmao .. could there have been any dad better than Eugene Levy for that series ... Like really...his comedic brilliance nailed it.

  Guys, I have just bought a Mojo and was wondering if you could recommend the best way to connect it up. I intend to use it in my bedroom for listening to headphones, but am planning on storing my music of a NAS and using a Raspberry Pi as a streamer. How would i go about sending the digital signal from the Pi to the Mojo?

Here's something 'Jammy' you can safely feed Mojo:
 

 
 
I already did, and Mojo drives the bassline superbly (I hope you like jammin', too..!)

Swiss National Day - a little present for you.
 
I made a Mojo SD card adapter thanks to my new 3D printer. Was a bit tricky to find the right measurements for the top plate/plugs. It's a USB hub/SD Card reader that works fine with Android:
 

 

 

 
You can print it yourself, need some soldering experience, find the infos here:

Here's a little bit of Mojo eye candy too then.

Picture shows Mojo with its QED Reference Audio J2P cable which goes to the amp in my active speakers. There's showing the bottom of PC monitor, and my Meridian Explorer, just behind my Mojo.

You can see the lower part of my Q Acoustics BT3 (left) desktop speaker, which is set on bubble-wrap and foam for acoustics. It's to stop the speaker loosing energy into the desk, and therefor making the desk boom, which would muddy sound. (I need a better solution than foam though really.)



blu tak is your friend

I've tried everything, this phone definitely does not have USB out. Does you or anyone have a list of cellphones with USB out so I can narrow my search. The goal is to buy the cheapest Android device with USB out so I can use my Tidal offline with the Mojo.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mython,

I'm using the mojo with Mac mini. I read about audioquest, Supra but do they sound different or superior than the other?

I have also read about the Lifatec Silflex Glass optical? Do you guys have any experience with them?

Regards Wayne


the lifatec silflex is the best sounding I have used and I have several glass and quite a few plastic.  Works ok with mini, but gets it pants blown off by usb.  Toslink on a mini is last resort, imho

Nice! I'm also making a move from Bifrost Uber to Mojo, although I'm keeping mine for the time being so I can hook my speakers up to my television.
How would you compare Bifrost MB to Mojo?


Read my bimby review on my blog and note the parts mentioned that were not quite up to par for me.  The Mojo sounds quite different, basically being more open and clear.  Not sure about the depth with speaker setup yet, waiting for a good mini cable to arrive.  All the tests I have done using adapters and cheap cables give cheap results so far with the Mojo.

I'll second the Lifatec recommendation.
 
They're sensibly priced, and easily out-spec even the highest-end AudioQuest cables (and they measure much better too ... well beyond their spec).
 
I'll disagree on the optical/USB point though, at least out of my 2012 Mac Mini ... USB is, so far, always my last-resort ... unless you need higher than 24/96, since you can't do that out of the Mini via TOSLINK.  This does, of course, depend on other parts of the system and how they've implemented their USB interfaces.  But that's just for me, in my system.

You really need to get the woofer higher off the desk to minimize lumpy bass response.  And here is a cheap solution.

Love the industrial look

- don't try this at home or else!!!

Another option is to use 3 steel nuts under each speaker (as in nuts and bolts) with some blutac on both sides of the nut.
 
This helps to isolate the speaker from the desk or speaker stand.
