I really like your technical design and execution of the Mojo DAC - I just wish I liked the physical design... :wink: :thinking:

I actually pondered on the idea of getting one because of the design, but decided reports on its audio quality outweighed these reservations. I actually like it now

Im thinking of getting an Ifi ican SE to connect it with the Mojo. Anyone have tried this setup? Good synergy between them?
Will it change the sound of Mojo alot?
I want the Mojo sound but just spice it with 4 watts of power.

One thing that scares me is the price. Why so cheap? But maybe I shouldnt think that way, that cheap = bad?

Does anyone know


Zees replied back about his No Returns policy, and he told me he would accept a return if iOS 12 breaks the cable. Since he has a 100% seller rating, I feel confident with my order. Once it arrives towards the end of August, I’ll report back on my impressions.

One thing to keep in mind about ordering, there is a left version and right version option. In looking at the pictures, I chose the left version since I want the cable to loop to the left (viewed from the rear) so that the power USB jack remains unobstructed. I asked him to confirm that my choice will indeed turn out to my expectations.

Finally, this cable looks quite similar to the Penon Audio cable I bought with micro USB jacks on both sides. That cable worked great and has held up perfectly with all my connects and disconnects.

I received my iPhone SE to Mojo cable from Zee’s Music, and it took only 9 days to California. It works great! I’m really happy with the quality, and as I previously mentioned, it looks like it’s made by the same manufacturer that makes the Penon Audio micro to micro USB cable I have. Two differences, the Penon is all silver conductors vs the silver plated copper conductors of the Zee’s, and the gauge of wire is smaller than the Zee’s. Here’s a picture of the setup with the Penon cable also shown:

I and others - not universally - have found mojo lacks a little something when playing hd800s - I think they’re 300ohms and described as easy to drive.
You get that something from hugo2.
I’ve tended towards using mojo with my iem since I thought this.
I can’t explain it. Must be more to it then volume and voltage.

Now you come to mention it....
I find my preference when listening via headphones is now my Grado SR325e instead of my HD800, I personally just find the listening more pleasurable

Otherwise most of my listening is via IEM's, primarily as I use the Mojo out and about and as of Can Jam London my new choice of IEM's are the Shure KSE1200 with Snuggs custom tips.

Oh man only if Mojo had a bass boost.
I hate booming sound and over powered bass. Like I said I relly love clean sound but the bass has to be there too.
I guess I have to get a proper headphone amp for that.

I find with the Shure KSE1200 I have the bass (well the Bass I need) deep and soul stirring bass. So much so I have rediscovered some of my Roots Reggae again, to go with my usual Jazz and Classical usual listening material .

Perhaps the amplifier with the Shure's ???

I get enough bass out Mojo for my TH900s. Sure, it's not Bakoon levels of bass, but better than for example with Schiit Asgard 2.
