In order to get Apple music (only using that because 3 months free) to transport to mojo in bitperfect, can I get an app? Or is apple music not have a way for uapp or others? Just want vest quality when using mojo


If you're using an Android device with Apple Music, then you're stuck with having Android's native, forced, re-sampling in the way and you won't get bit-perfect output.  There might be ways around that if you're willing to root the phone, but I'm not aware of any at the moment.
 
UAPP doesn't support Apple Music and I very much doubt Apple are going to open up their system to allow it to do so.  That they let Sonos integrate directly was really down to the level of penetration that product line has - and I think they're the only third party with access at the moment.
 
If you're using an Apple device, then the native stream goes straight to the Mojo and there's no resampling - so the result will be bit-perfect.

  My CD player just has a coaxial digital output is there a way to plug it into a Mojo? Also my computer is an Intel NUC, it has an HDMI output could I use that?


Yes, you can use your CD player as a "transport" by connecting it to the Mojo. Depending on your player, you'll either need an RCA to 3.5mm "Y" cable or a 3.5-3.5mm cable.

No, you cannot use an HDMI interface with Mojo.

A "Y" cable is no use as it will have two RCA plugs and the 3.5mm will be stereo not mono. It seems hard to find a 75 ohm 1 RCA to 3.5mm cable.


Contact Dysonaudio and have them make you one. Reasonable prices and good quality.

Or the adaptor you linked may work. For £2.19 you may as well just try it out.

My bad - I have the opposite setup (line out to preamp analog) which is why I had the "Y" component on my mind... .
I am currently using TOSLINK for CD-Player output but I could also go with coax, in which case it would be single RCA to mini.
 
I recommend Kimber Kable. You appear to be in the UK so I would suggest Russ Andrews:

Even comes with a Mojo-Quick-Start "guide"

p.s. I'm not a big fan of adapters.

Swiss National Day - a little present for you.

I made a Mojo SD card adapter thanks to my new 3D printer. Was a bit tricky to find the right measurements for the top plate/plugs. It's a USB hub/SD Card reader that works fine with Android:










You can print it yourself, need some soldering experience, find the infos here:

would be fun to see other adapters for the mojo, have fun.
Nicely done I like the colour too but I should say we've no plans at present match it.

I guess only hot pink is down in the pipeline at the moment.

I can only presume that the DAP is aimed at the female market sector (soft curves, fits comfortably in the hand, .....)
It is very different to many DAPs on the market, which have a very oblong box shape, with plenty of hard edges, plus plenty of buttons and a large display - overall a more macho styling to the physical design.
