Thanks :) This helps a lot. Short is even better.
Just make sure you get the new "CZY micro USB to lightning" version if you go through penon. The CZY is the new version that works with the iphone x and latest versions of ios (still works for 11.4)

Nice! I want to do the same but I need to find a Lightning to MicroUSB cable for my iPhone X. It’s a pain to use two OTG cables just for the connection. I use TIDAL also.

Lavricable do a lightening to Micro USB but its out of stock till the end of June, but i found this company who make/sell them for $14 each and i bought 2. Delivery to the UK took less than a week and soundwise there's little noticable difference from the apple cinema but its just a much neater way of doing things:

I also used this cable but the Microb to usbC variety for my S8+, I'm leaning toward braided cables nowadays not because there's a sound difference but just because they feel better in the hand:

also looks fancy, who knows if it's actually all in there, sounds fine to me, doesn't do much to prevent EMI/RF hence I'm using ferrites;

@teknorob23 How much EMI/RF do you notice with Hugo2? It's pretty bad with me when I'm not in airplane mode of course in airplane mode it's nonexistent.

i've been on a bit of a quest to find something more elegant than the apple cinema dongle+ usb lead, but it appear to be proverbial rocking horse excrement of the cabling world and i wish i had the choice to braid or un braid. So far its the meenova one, the http://www.lavricables.com/cables/r...-mojo-interconnect-cable-by-lavricables-v2-0/ which is bit more punchy pricewise but looks good.

Re the RF noise issue, yes i get a bit but not to the point where my ocd kicks in. I dont travel with the H2 very often as i mainly use it with my mac-mini at home and if i i do like you i keep it in airplane mode. I do use the the Mojo quite a bit on the go with a jitterbug and i cant say i find that a problem either. I should caveat this by adding most of my iphoneX+DAC listening is done on train, buses, planes or walking between mtgs in noisy central london, so theres not much critical listening going on.

Which of the Zeus' is best suited for an audiophile? probably wouldn't want a basshead but more treble for like rock music.

Neither Zeus tuning is for bassheads, both are bass light IMO and likely right up you're alley based on what you've said so far. XR has both Zeus R and Zeus XIV in it and can be switched between the two by the flick of a switch. In my opinion if you're considering a Zeus of either variety you should step up to the XR, you get both for just a few hundred bucks more.

Zeus XR and you are good for life (unless you are a basshead or have money to burn)

Just did it. I'm selling my entire desktop rig. Already sold the Aoen Flow Open. The Bravado paired with the Mojo is truly amazing .
Wow at the truly high praise for the Bravado! Thank you so much sir.
