Is this a good idea for a portable setup?
 
Galaxy Note 4 (marshmallow) -> Alo The Key DAC -> CV5

Sounds pretty good to me, that's not the exploding phone is it?

I guess new name is " The Bang 7 " now instead of Note 7.

Mmmm...with the iPhone, you are better off buying the Continental Dual Mono than the Cv5, because the CDM has both DAC and amp (using the Apple CCK and a USB and Micro USB interconnect). With an Android, same advice (using an OTG interconnect). If, on the other hand, you have a good Digital Audio Player with a DAC that you really like, then buy the new Cv5 for that tube sound.of course, you must audition before deciding.

Thanks for the explanation. 
 
 
 

Are you talking about the 3.5mm jack? You could, but there would be no benefit. The audio at that point has already gone through an amp stage. It will already have all the noise and performance defects that you circumvent by using the device as a digital transport to a DAC and amp which have been purposefully designed as those components.

Just got a notification that my Cv5 and Raytheon tube shipped. Pleasantly surprised and can't wait to listen to this amp!

The Chord Mojo line out setting is 3v. Is that the setting I should use when pairing with the V5? Also, I ordered it today. Will it ship Monday? Thanks!

The chord mojo is a true line out regardless of volume setting, the 3v was simply there for rob watts to have a standard during the design phase. Use any volume that works for you.

If you lower the volume 4 clicks from the 'line-out' volume preset you'll get about 1.9V which is much closer to the CD standard of 2V. Plus you'll have more travel on the Cv5 volume pot. Just be aware that this volume will be remembered and you will likely blow up your eardrums if you plug IEMs directly in to the Mojo at this level. Always check the volume colour before plugging directly in to the Mojo.
