My honest opinion. The A&K 120 is too much money for a file source.

Only if not also being used separately without Mojo when desired.

I find the Coaxial input of Mojo better sounding than USB input.
For the Coaxial I use the old DAP Fiio X5 (first generation) and for USB I use MacBook Pro mid 2012 with Audirvana Plus.

Please describe better for others’ reference. Brighter? Darker? Smoother?

I will describe the sound on Coaxial as smoother, without any trace of the harsh sound.

I find USB and Coax sound identical. Personally like Coax, I have a one inch 75 ohm cable, but even small mono RCA cable does the job and not sure there is a difference using Digital 75ohm at that size. For a tiny Source, Shanling M0 works. Fiio X5, IBASSO DX90, Pionner100 and AK SE200 have all worked well for me.

the best as a transport among the tested dap?

I read that the best transport for mojo is easther m1 is it true?

And if you turn down the leds and flip the Mojo over you get lower noise floor.

I use the M1, and the hibylink app enables me to control the M1 from an android phone, or my ipad - so the small screen size is not an issue.

sorry as m1 you mean Shanling M1 or Soundaware Esther M1

Just got a used Mojo. The only USB cable I have to use with it right now is the USB with 2 micros (one for listening and one for charging). I'm thinking about getting a different USB to Micro cable -- are there any you recommend? I feel like the Black Dragon cable looks nice, but I don't really want to spend $80+. Are there any a little less than that you'd recommend?

For best SQ there have been a number statements that the Chord Poly is the best solution. If money is no issue I would go for that. Also the form factor makes the whole package very attractive IMHO
(Money is an issue for me, so I did not)

For convenience, a nice touch screen and perfect physical match can recommend the HiBy R3.
Inthink you have seen my previous posts which show the stack. It also supports the HiBy App to control it remotely.

Since it might interest some people in this thread - I posted a simple DIY project for a Mojo-compatible mobile streamer device here (basically same functionality as the Poly, though not as fancy): https://www.head-fi.org/threads/portable-streamer-player-for-chord-mojo-and-others.892968/

Maybe have a look at FAQ's in the third post?

That looks brilliant. I wish I was that tech savvy.
