How could one sound better than the other? Both are outputting a digital signal which is in turn converted to analog by the same target DAC.
So how (exactly) would one sound better?
Yesterday I met a person who insisted that the same file played from CD and from HDD might sound different, for the same file exactly, so I'm really trying to give everything the option to sound true.
I think that, if everything said in all the papers is true, the Digital out should have better clocks or something like that, while the OTG isn't affected by those. I think they were named timers, or anti-jitter, I noticed that a lot of DAPs feature the signal passing through those before going to coaux, while this isn't true for OTG.
Whether this is audible or not, I still need to test, this is why I went with *probably* there.
What I can say though is that the digital out is much more trusty that the OTG out, at least for me. Looks like it would last better to usage, with the shape of the connectors looking like that, while OTG might place strain on the connector in just one direction, and it might be less resistant to strain. I hadn't had either break on me, but just saying, I like how the co-ax feels much better.
So while that might remain in the *probably* territory, the fact that the connectors shape and reliability is better in the long run, is kinda true.
I'm not sure if Mojo accepts a digital input instead of OTG.
It works perfectly with the Q1ii via USB out - using Neutron as the player (app).
Thank you for testing! Good to know that this works!
I wonder if it works the other way aruound from Android, like connecting my phone and having X7mkii play the role of an external DAC DAC/AMP
May I know if there will be any side effect?
@FiiO is the “click click” sound normal?
That is normal, only relays inside making that noise, they are making sure that you don't get a feedback that might break your headphones. Really good protection mechanism put in place by FiiO there.
