I agree, test your gear with the Mojo to see if you notice a worthwhile improvement. Off the bat I'd say your headphones are the weakest link to noticing an improvement.

Cheers for the reply. I agree as my headphones sound good to me and the music I listen to but I can also appreciate that something like 400i etc is another playing field. Im after good deep bass with solid clear vocals and good clear highs. From what Ive researched the mojo is a step in the right direction. Im a basshead but when i listen to my rock playlist i want to really hear the full sound spectrum from bon jovi, whitesnake etc through to fleetwood mac, kings of leon etc

Take advantage of Amazons return policy if you don't care for the Mojo

Ye probably best option. I would assume they will perform better than our team at the moment lol

Hey! I also have the crossfade wireless. Thinking of buying this, how do these headphones sound with mojo??? Im also awaiting my sz1000's

 
 
after only one day of testing, Crossfade has greatly improved. The sound remains more or less the same but with more separation and something more than stuck. The improvement is most evident in the Macbook (audirvana) than the Iphone (Onkio player).

That's a smart idea. If I purchase the Mojo it will be through Amazon. I plan on going on a trip to Peru in July so I'm thinking of bringing my TH-X00 and buying a Mojo as a permanent solution to my portable needs. Now that is the ultimate "hype-fi" setup. TH-X00 w/ Alpha pads and Mojo.. both are respectively the two most hyped products in their categories for 2015. The TH-X00 has really lived up to the hype and surpassed it in my opinion. It is simply a very well tuned headphone.
 
The Mojo is something that caught my interest the most because the majority of portable solutions with DACs tend to be the off-the-shelf variety of chips that don't quench my needs in sound quality. I really want to hear this FPGA with more processing power than the Hugo. That is really remarkable for the price tag. The Mojo is calling for my money.. I can hear it now

A chipmunk would perform better at this moment in time.

Joking aside, here is an interesting post from earlier in this very thread, that you may find relevant:
 
 
 
Some people seem to get lucky with cheap optical cables, but plenty of people have found that their cheap cable fails to transmit 24/192 reliably, hence my joke about it being roulette.
 
 
I suppose you could try a cheap one from, say, Amazon, and take advantage of their returns policy if it doesn't work properly.

 
Thanks a lot for this info. Very interesting.
I understand these flaws in cheap cables, but not on $100 cables!
Funny they say cheap $20 cable. I would say cheap cables are up to $6.
When my Kabeldirekt cable arrives I will examine with a 8x loup and test at 196 kbps, to see if I got lucky
If it does not work at 196kbps, I will try a more expensive one, maybe Supra ZAC or Chord.
Being outside UK, I think I will not bother returning a cheap £4.76 item, unless it is totally defective (meaning not working at 96kbps).
Thanks!

For those in the UK I see that Richer Sounds also stock the Mojo now, not sure if they would have them in-store to demo but I know how helpful they can be and I'm sure there will be a unit somewhere that they could allow you to listen to.
 
With distance selling rules especially in the UK, if purchased online you usually are able to return within a certain time frame, enough time for you to trial in the comfort of your own home, so as suggested above the likes of Amazon and Richer Sounds would offer that option.
 
EDIT: I remember introducing the staff at Richer Sounds to the Mojo when I first purchased mine and needed some decent Headphones. I was allowed to try Shure, Grado, Audeze at the time my budget settled on the Grados, but I also had a chance to listen to the HD800's and knew I had to get these at sometime.

What happens if I line out a mojo to another mojo? Do I double thr sound quality or do I double my idiocity?

On a more serious note, wheb I use car speaker, do I use line out to aux or just plug it in headphone way

You simply can't because the Mojo has no digital OUTPUT or analogue INPUT.

Just saw your edit. The only way to output the sound from Mojo is through the 3.5mm jack so then to the aux in the car stereo would be the best. If the car stereo clips (I think it will at 3V line level) then just lower the Mojo volume until it doesn't clip. 4 clicks down from line level is 1.9V which is close to the 2V CD standard. If it still clips just lower the Mojo volume.

My 370Z "premium" BOSE (By Other Stereo Equipment ) clips using the X5 line out of 1.7V.

the way i use in car is pressing both volume + and - while power on and connect it to car aux in and control vol via car player, and its real good,as i have Blaupunkt set in car

Buy with confidence.Mojo is not a marginal improvement compared to any phone, it's a day and night difference. I've done the test.

Hope your cable works well for you. Alsk another tip is to ways avoid any type of conversion adapter for optical cables, it would degrade performance without exception. There are also times a cable didn't work as the jack is not insertly snuggly, or the cable bended too much.

Re optical cable quality, I will always stick with SysConcept multistrand for ALL my optical cables. I find it most assuring to get them from an optical equipment specialist than from a boutique/bespoke audio cable maker.

Just curious, if I want to get an aftermarket USB cable to connect it to the Mojo does it have to have the OTG micro termination or the regular (non-OTG) micro termination will do as well?
 
Thanks

I quite sure it needs to be OTG to work with an Android or the very latest Windows 10  950 Lumia mobile phones.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will sure consider SysConcept for my next optical cable purchase. They are quite inexpensive and they seem well respected as you say.
Yes, I will have no conversion and I will give enough space for the cable to curve gently. As it is a desktop fixed setup and a 1m cable I should have no problem there.
Also I am hoping the metal gold plated connectors of the Kabeldirekt will provide a tight fit that will not degrade over time. We'll see.
 
The theoretical specified advantage of the Supra ZAC is higher transmission (zero attenuation). But that is a spec of perfect (no defect) cable, and as it has been pointed out, the problem with cables start with deviant specimens, not perfect specimens.
 
Thanks.
