From their website: 1x 3.5mm Jack Coaxial 768kHz/32-bit Capable Input, I think that means analog, unless that's a digital input format that I just don't know about.

Mojo is a DAC and only has digital input. 768kHz/32-bit makes no sense to describe an analog signal.From their website: 1x 3.5mm Jack Coaxial 768kHz/32-bit Capable Input, I think that means analog, unless that's a digital input format that I just don't know about.

In that way, is there any bluetooth receiver on the market that has digital output in order to connect to Chord Mojo?
Maybe EarStudio ES100?
Thanks,

Shanling M0 should work. EarStudio ES100 does not have digital output.In that way, is there any bluetooth receiver on the market that has digital output in order to connect to Chord Mojo?

+1 for the M0 and the Acoustic Research AR-M200. For a budget option, the Benjie T6/Rocker has bi-directional Bluetooth as well.Shanling M0 should work. EarStudio ES100 does not have digital output.
3.5mm is always analog, I don't know where the idea of Mojo being all digital comes from, but it makes no sense.In that way, is there any bluetooth receiver on the market that has digital output in order to connect to Chord Mojo?

Mojo is all digital input. USB, Optical and digital 3.5mm coax.3.5mm is always analog, I don't know where the idea of Mojo being all digital comes from, but it makes no sense.
Did a bit of reading on digital coax, interesting, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.Mojo is all digital input. USB, Optical and digital 3.5mm coax.

Several DAP's use a combined 3.5mm as well. There switchable between line out and digital coax. The mojo doesn't have an amp in it so that is why it doesn't have an analog input.Did a bit of reading on digital coax, interesting, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.
I guess I was thinking about it in terms of output instead of input, it certainly makes sense for an all digital in device, but all digital out is where I was getting hung up. Thanks for clarifying, my head was stuck in the wrong end of the alley.Several DAP's use a combined 3.5mm as well. There switchable between line out and digital coax.

You won't be able to, without Android 8 (Oreo). There are reports on the web that Motorola is just starting to roll out Android 8 to the G5S. You'll have more Bluetooth options after your phone is updated.
Thanks for the input.
In my apartment the BTR3 seems to have slightly stronger Bluetooth reception than the ES100. When I am down the hall and a room away I get some cutouts with the ES100...not with the BTR3...but that could be a synergy issue with my transmitter (a Chinese Bluetooth 5.0 model with Aptx HD & LL).
So with my Android 7.1.1 phone and current Fiio Music Android Software there is no way to select which of the many codecs you want to use. In my case the pairing of the bluetooth transmitter and the BTR3 results in an Aptx HD connection. It sounds great, but one of my reasons for choosing the BTR3 is its inclusion of Aptx LL. There is I think no way to select that with my transmitter. However.... with my transmitter/TV setup I am noticing very little lag with Aptx HD.... it is totally acceptable, and sounds great.
One key feature will be that when BTR3 support is added to Fiio Music you are able to save/memorize your setting choices so that they work outside of the app, and that particular phone. I think that is how the ES100 works.
It is undoubtedly unfair to compare the software/control sophistication of the BTR3 which is just now being released to the ES100 which has been around a lot longer with several Firmware/Software updates, but in its current state customizing choices on the BTR3 is very limited depending on your setup.
But it sounds great.

If you don't use EQ and don't have very hard to drive IEMs (KZ ES4, maybe Ibasso IT01 in the future), for active use think the BTR3 is the better choice due to the metal/glass build and metal clip? I'm not using balanced on the ES100 and it already sounds quite black to me, not sure there's much to gain by going balanced. Wondering if I should get the BTR3 instead.

I very much want to see how robust the clip is on the btr3. I currently have the es100 and the clip fell off after 32 days of ownership. Radsone was kind enough to replace the unit, but the es100 clip is just not strong enough to stay attached to my clothing (it very frequently detaches).
I just spoke with someone at Audio46 (I am local to their store) and whomever is in charge of ordering the btr3 won't be in until tomorrow, so I'm not sure when they will have it in stock. I'm hoping very soon so I can get a hands-on impression.
Cheers.

Same for me, I've decided to return the ES100 for this reason, also the build quality and buttons are not great. Plus getting a Fiio F5 as I prefer the build quality and form factor over the ES4 (and IT01). My only gripe is that they seem a bit sub bass shy.
The clip is certainly more solid in BTR3 and clip to my shirt better than ES100, but I can't speak of how long it will last.
