You are very welcome!
If you didn't quite get it figured out, once you are done transferring all the music files you want to the DX, then just open up the Mango app (or whatever music player you might be using) and you will have to enable a scan for the files you added. Once this is done, they should show up as music to listen to. Hope that helps.
Just so you can try and perceive the difference between single ended and balanced, i would suggest you get a cheap kz iem and a 4.4mm balanced cable (inexpensive) and try the combo
Thanks for the advice.
I have the KZ ZAX IEMs and use the TRN T2 cable with the 4.4mm balanced connector. At lower volumes, the noise floor is invisibly black. The output levels are incredible, so you won't be playing these anywhere near the top levels at 100. They suit my sound taste for listening to most of my music.
The desire for balanced output on a DAP is better crosstalk and (usually) more power output. Of course, normally you don't really need that extra power for low impedance and high sensitivity IEMs but there is still the crosstalk that you get (in that each monitor has its own ground). It is a little like having 7 drivers in a set of IEMs giving some discrete sound.
This is because you are using the DX160 as a simple transport. The Mojo 2 is doing ALL the work (DAC and amplifier). Using a USB-Audio setup with the Mojo 2 would do the same thing (and sound the same) if you used a phone or any other transport. If you still want control from your DX160 then you would want to hook into the Mojo 2 via LO or SPDIF. Hope that helps.
I've just bought some Chinese cable with 4.4 jack in order to make a try. Your cable looks way better, but it's not available anymore. Maybe in the future, if I like the experience, I will upgrade.
I have never heard of this app before, so I can't answer about DSD or how good/bad the app is for music playback.
Depends on many varying factors
Even after all this time (got mine back in 2019), I will still get anywhere from 5-8 hours from it. This also depends on many things like @superuser1 said... That said, more often I get closer to 8 than I do to 5 though. But I don't normally listen to a ton of DSD256 or PCM384 on this though. Those are the ones that will kill the battery in this. It will last closer to the 8 mentioned when using something like 24/96 and below and very little to no DSP on and WiFi and BT off. WiFi will use the battery quite a bit quicker on this device because it struggles to keep a solid signal sometimes (at least mine does), though I never have any hiccups on mine. BT is the same way, it uses more battery than the norm because the signal is weak(er) than other devices.
