What DAP do you have? I don't know of any with a USB output.

thanks for replying. sorry not a dap in particular. what about apple's line out or androids's usb out. isn't that how phones are connected to the mojo's usb input? 
 
It depends on your DAP but none of them pass files through, they will all need to convert the files to an audio stream.

Earlier in the thread there was a bit of heat on this topic as some DAPs were definitely altering the output (eq and volume were having an effect).

Oh and some DAPs do not output digital at all like the AK jr and Fiio x1
thanks. i am also looking into pairing this with my phone.

Wish the Mojo didn't skip the first second on every track on TIDAL.. It also keeps cutting off on Linn streaming radio (which works fine otherwise with other usb interface - might be the streaming buffer), it's frustrating.

I was planning to buy this one.

I don't think there's alot of difference though, as long as it has a ferrite core.

  Has anyone tried Mojo with Oneplus X? Does it work without any problems?

I do not know if the OnePlus X is similar to the OnePlus One, but I could not get the OTG cable to work with my OnePlus One and I have tried quite a few OTG cables
OnePlus X may be different

Ref: The first second missing of manually selected tracks in Foobar and JRiver.

Has anyone added inexpensive extra amp to Mojo to drivre HD 800? I 'accidently' bought Aune B1 to add extra power to my mojo and now I'm thinking if I just wasted extra 180$.

Should I return it?!

I've read very good things about the HD800 being driven directly by the Mojo without any further amplification. Anything you add into the signal path between mojo and your HP's is going to mean you'll lose some of the Mojo Magic :frowning2:
 
I am using T1's which are probably as hard or harder to drive than the HD800's and they work beautifully. Indeed I've had them AND the HD600's being driven together well by the Mojo via the 2 outputs.
 
My feeling is return the Aune if you're finding the HD800's working well without it.

Thanks to Mojo...
 
I listened to all of Funky Tonk off the Live Evil Miles Davis album today. 
 
Completely mesmerised. Finally it made sense!! :)
 
Probably the first time Ive actually listened to it from start to finish!

Is it possible to connect an iPod classic to input data to the mojo?


Haven't tried to connect mine but I'm sure it will work as long as you use the old 30 pin connector. Will probably be even more seamless as Apple wasn't as stringent in protecting their proprietary output then.

I need advice. Im about to splurge on a portable amp or amp/dac for my fiio x3ii and ipod touch 6. I will be using iems like yamaha eph100 and dn1000. Will the mojo will fit my setup? Or would i be better off with a fiio e12a? Or maybe oppo ha-2? I mostly listen to metal and trance. But i enjoy a little jazz and orchestral too. I prefer a warmer sound sig but plenty of details.

All it is good for is color the signal from the mojo. It can't function as an amplifier because Mojo may have a higher output than the B1 due to it's high output impedance. Worse is you may end up with clipped signal given it's lowest gain is at 5dB.
