I'm sorry if I haven't found it through search (I've looked!) but... has anyone found a very short USB-C to micro USB cable?  The shortest I can find is 20cm.  Thanks

I could not agree more. I own the Lavricable interconnect, the Fiio L-19 and the Penon Audio Lightning Decoder cable. In the 5 months with the Penon Audio cable, it has worked flawlessly with every iOS update including iOS 10.0.1. Yes, it is $130 but worth every cent.

Does your Fiio L19 still function under iOS 10?

Allright, little feedback.
 
I got my Mojo and been listening to it for a couple of weeks. When i asked everyone here about the possible improvements in SQ and all, the general answer was that it's gonna be subtle and that will be better over time.
 
Let me tell you, for me there is night and day difference. The best is compared if you swiftly change between Mojo and no Mojo. It's just carnage without them. So many sounds, hisses that don't belong (on a really good remastered recording) in 320 kbps mp3.
 
The only question i have, when listening to it with iPhone 6 and Onkyo HF Player, the sample rate is red (44). Playing it directly from ITunes from my Macbook Pro the sample rate is blue (192). Is there up sampling going on from iTunes. How can i change that?
 
For me this is the end of the line for a long while. As i stated earlier i'm not an audiophile and it's never going to be a hobby for me. So, my search is over. Thanks a lot for you guys for your responses.

Yep. Go to:
Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup.app.
Under 'Output', choose 'Mojo' and set the format to 44k.

Could someone tell me how good the DAC chip inside the audio interface RME Babyface's headphone-out is? What rating might you give it, if Mojo were to get 7 out 10?

Yes, both the L19 and Lavricable still function.

....  
I had been doing carefully testings with USB vs Toslink glass cables; I still can't decide myself which one to prefer, yet. I would say.... my brain seems to relax more with toslink, and it also seems not to get tired after many hours of music (with USB, I would experience just a little bit of this fatigue)
 
So, based on your above clarification, let me ask you this: in terms of musicality, which connection would you say emphatise musicality more , USB or toslink?

It all depends - portable lap-tops on battery or DAP's and mobile phones, then USB would have the edge. But big noisy PC's it would be optical. But I have never suffered fatigue at all with optical.

Oh, such a dilemma... should I add this to post #3 or not? LOL

 

[shootthemoon18]

Anyone found any significant improvement with using better usb cables?

For those who have the L19, how is the SQ of it?

 

[audi0nick128]

There are many high quality cables on the market. Take a look at post #3 if you want different options.
I am very happy with my Forza Audio Works hybrid cable. Even more since I DIY shielded it.

Cheers

Are you talking about this device, which is designed for studio musicians? http://www.rme-audio.de/en/products/babyface_pro.php
 
Given that the Mojo has wiped the floor with all the AV show awards during the last year, I am surprised that you only give it a baseline score of 7, and not 10.
 
Based on this review http://www.audiomediainternational.com/recording/review-rme-babyface-pro/05331
the babyface pro cannot handle all the HiRes USB rates that the Mojo can, nor can it handle DSD inputs.
That alone would mean that some audiophiles would say that the babyface pro must rank badly compared to the Mojo.
 
At the moment your question is very broad, and thus not specific enough. Do you need to rescope your initial question, to focus on just the audio quality alone?

Can the Mojo be used as a stand alone amp if paired with the Questyle QP1R.?

So what I am looking for is a very high quality small portable amp to add to the QP1R as a stack for listening on the road to help power the HEK. The line out of the QP1R is optical so the input to the amp needs an optical line in feature. Thanks for suggestions.

Digital Out is different from Line Out. Optical cannot be used as Line Out. Optical is Digital Out. Line out is a analog signal that is fed to an Amp. And Mojo cannot function as a Amp alone.

I can see what you mean, however I was just looking at the £60 it will cost for me to licence Audivarna Plus. ***!
What other programs are there for Mac for hi-res music playback?
Is Vox any good?

there is a whole thread on it here at hf, just search it up, lots of good alternatives.

  iPhone 6S+, Mojo, SW24, Shure SE425 - I cannot get over how much I love the sounds filling my head! Incredible. 
Since my 'about turn' on my thoughts of the Mojo accessory pack, I have ordered that and the Mojo case. Since Apple stitched up my Lavricable with iOS 10! Apple you are feckin' bawbags of the highest order! You have a grip on my 'nads like no other has, not even my awesome wife has my 'nads gripped like it! And just like a relationship can be, I am being battered by your change of designs (stupid removal of 3.5mm port), I am being abused by your constant changes to iOS to ensure other gear won't work (Lavricable), I am bruised by your prices at every single turn (I mean, £919 for a feckin' phone), yet I still stay with you, love you like no other and this is how you treat me still!

If you feel so abused, don't buy another iPhone and don't upgrade to the latest iOS version. It is your choice. FWIW, the Lavricable cable works fine connecting my new iPhone 7 to my Mojo. Guess they just singled you out to "stitch up". I just plugged it in and listened to the music. No thought required.
