of course zx2 with nw10 cable :) Sorry guys but if you have dap over 1k , the mojo it's just waste your money :) And people want hear what they want to hear


Including you...

All I can say is that my $250 used AK100 is feeding tunes to my Mojo in a very effective way. 
 
Have a coax cable coming hopefully soon so I can try it out against my X3 (which you can also get quite cheap used - but doesn't have 2 card slots or a touch-screen).

Anyone that can explain me why a standard trs 3.5mm cable is working with the coax out from the ibasso? i thought only a 3.5mm mono cable would do the job? And is there a difference in soundquality compared to such an 3.5mm mono cable?

I guess it depends on how the pin-outs on the TRS are set up. Mono 75 Ohm coax is going to be the best to transmit, but seems like other things work as well. I have some different types of cables coming in to test. Will publish what I find later. Cheers

An IC will transmit the digital signal. You are using the tip for the signal and then the ground on the TRS. It works but you aren't always getting the shielding you want but also, coax for optimum, should be, due to reflections with the cable and time domain, 3 feet or longer. Short cables actual don't do as well. But for our purposes it works out fine.

Regular TRS cable for iBasso DX50/DX90 works well too, short cable length is ok, normally 75 Ohms and more shielding are highly recommend for digital coax. See: http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread/1590#post_12014439
 
But I will get soon a custom 3,5mm TS 90° angled to 3,5mm TS 90° angled 10cm interconnect cable too.

I am making a short coax mini to mini for this. Very, very low profile and very durable, with true coax.

Just because you have a different opinion about the Mojo does not mean that your opinion is more valid than anyone else's.
 
Remember that

Everyone's opinions are just that, opinions. It doesn't make sense to me that a top of the line AK would sound better going into a Mojo. But I am not gong to tell anyone they are wrong, if they like the sound better, great. Now taking something middle tier or lower tier, then going into a Mojo, makes sense. I haven't really read too many things bad about either the Hugo or the Mojo, it seems Chord does make good stuff for the right application and person.

What do you mean with true coax? Can you share more details about your work? Like my link I posted on top, I own a real coax (75ohms) 8cm cable, but with mini to RCA (for my iFi micro iDSD) and I'm looking for a smaller cable with small mini plugs and no adapter between.
