Finally a really tidy co-ax cable solution between iBasso and Mojo, thanks fellow member @derGabe

Listening to a FLAC of Don Henley's new album 'Cass Country', through Grado 325e's. Audio this good for under £1000

I am stuck trying to figure out a file transport for the Mojo.
 
I can't decide whether to get a budget smartphone phone since I don't have one. The pros are it's compact, and could have a decent camera.
 
I could get a DAP. As song as I keep to WAV and FLAC I don't need a high res player. Or I could stretch budget to the Sony NWZ-A15 for a HD player.
 
Or I could buy a budget tablet. Right now there is the Amazon Fire 7" for £35. I know it's cheap but I won't need a camera in a tablet so basic is good. It's small enough to be portable generally, but not really pocket portable. I am not too sure if I would be using the Mojo as regular pocket portable anyway. It will make easy for transporting about the home.

I'm researching these at the moment, seem well built and reasonably priced ???

Thanks jcoops16 but custom-cable.co.uk does not seem to have it in stock. I've mailed them though to make it clear.
 
Amazon is fine if somewhere in Europe otherwise it gets stuck in Swedish customs (from US). amazon.co.uk say they cannot ship to Sweden... :frowning2:

An iPod Touch would work well for this. You can play WAV and FLAC with KaiserTone and also have the option for services like Tidal, Spotify, and whatever other online services there are. Plus, you can also stream and listen through WiFi while connected to the Mojo. Also Relisten, while expensive, sounds excellent. It's also tiny and compact. I could go on, but then I caved and got an iPhone.

Getting a smartphone could be a good idea. They are pretty practical.
 
Good camera on a budget(y) phone: Sony z5 compact http://www.mobiles.co.uk/sony-xperia-z5-compact-black.html Expandable memory, should be a good match for the mojo size-wise, and it's 23mp camera is about as good as it gets on mobile. There were some great deals on this one in Norway during black friday, don't know about prices in the UK.

What are some decent sites to buy the Mojo from (for the US)? Preferably with a good return policy (no restocking fee or etc.), just in case? All I see is Moon Audio (which does 10% restocking, which would be $60 + return shipping).

Thanks for the link, but I can't find anything about their Return Policy?

Todd The Vinyl Junkie - Shipping & Returns
Says nothing about returns
 
Todd The Vinyl Junkie - Site Help / FAQ
Says "Please see our Terms & Conditions for complete details regarding our return policy."

I am very dissapointed with Onkyo HF.  Coming from the far-superior tuneshell it's a terrible app.  You can't change album/artist names, you can't add art from your photo stream or online, you can only delete files.  The equalizer is good but that's about it.  Does anyone know if tuneshell has a neutral sig like onkyo or is it bass/treble spiked even when eq is disabled?  I'll probably use tuneshell for everything except DSD and 24 bit flac, not sure if tuneshell can play 24-bit flac.

Tuneshell should be able to play 24-bit flac files.

So far it's Neutron or bust for me. None of the other apps seem to have a real EQ (with shelves, quality, etc.). I've been spoiled by EQ APO/Peace lol.
