Optical Cable is from sysconcept. There are two shown, the 5mm and the 2.2mm, both are great.

Thank you. Is this is the preferred connection for best quality?

It is my preferred connection. I like the mojo DAC but I love the paw5000 as a source. Optical is the only way to connect the two. You could use a standard optical cable but sysconcept make quality, aesthetically pleasing cables.which will allow up to 24/192 playback (paw limited to 24/96 but still great).

OK, thank you. Did you do much research in purchasing your dacamp? I ask because I want to find a similar form factor to the 5000 size.

Actually it was the other way around. I had the mojo but wanted a source, I had seen the paw5000 at canjam last year and luckily it was the right size. I love the interface .

Nice, when things work out it's great.

Is there an English Lotoo website? When visiting http://www.lotoo.cn and selecting English about twenty English words are added to the site yet all menus are in Chinese.

No kidding... a few weeks ago I landed on a page with all of the various firmware revisions for China, Japan, and English versions (perhaps others) as well as a FAQ and manual. Seems to have disappeared...

Can you provide some feedback on the PAW 5000 scroll wheel, is it loose or is it more firm, notched? I returned my N5 because it was so loose the selections jumped all over the place, otherwise it was a good player.

Scroll wheel is firm... no wobble!

So nice to hear that, thank you. Curious if you have yours in a case, and if so which one?
Do you use a portable amp?

  the cradle works perfectly when i want to add an amp to the mix...
 

 
totally forgot about this cradle when i purchased this but it gave me the flexibility for both stand-alone dap (no exposed velcro) and clean stack (no rubber bands)

 
 

What amp is in the bottom picture...the one with the square sides and about the exact size of the 5000.

It's a JDS Labs C421, already out of production. Now they only sell the C5D.

Geesh, I may have found my new amp, specs look impressive.....upper mid-range?
If you were buying another today would it be a JDS unit?
