No Disc Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Who's making audiophile cables to go between computer and the Mojo? I was just getting ready to order a wireworld starlight 7 when I realized they only sell USB A to Mini B, not Micro B. Anyone making audiophile grade cables in this configuration?

kennyb123 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I simply used the appropriate Audioquest adapter so that I didn't have to buy a USB cable.

barrows Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I ended up making a cable. It is so short I was not too concerned about impedance matching. I went with Jupiter 23 AWG silver wire in cotton twisted pair for the data wires, and Jupiter 23 AWG copper wire in cotton with straight run (no twist) for the power and ground. Soldering to the Micro USB is for the steady of hand only! I reinforced the terminations by potting in epoxy, and sealed the cable from oxygen contamination (the cotton insulation is totally permeable) by a simple wrap of Kapton tape. Covered it with tech flex and heat shrink for the ends, and I have a very nice sounding 3" cable. The Curious is probably the best commercial cable for use with the Mojo... I love my short Curious link with my µRendu and DIY DACs in the main rig. Listening to today's NIN release via the Mojo as I write this...

kennyb123 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 kenny: I was not aware that the Audience was available with micro USB? Or do you use an adapter... I would never use an adapter. I had mentioned above using an adapter. The Mojo was just a short-term solution in the big rig, so I didn't want to purchase a cable with a micro USB connector. A Hugo TT recently took the place of the Mojo. With the Mojo I actually used adapters on both ends. Even with the adapters the Mojo punched way above its weight. It easily beat the DAC that preceded it, a Mytek 192. And the Mojo also held its own against a DAC costing 10x as much.

Buy Hi mate, sorry to reply to a really old post of yours. When using the Curious Hugo/Mojo Link, can you use the charge port at the same time? Or is the Curious Hugo/Mojo Link too big to have a charging cable plugged in, next to it? Many thanks in advance Link to comment
No Disc Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 There is enough room to charge the mojo at the same time, I cannot say about the Hugo as I never had one.

That's great to hear. The photo of the Curious Hugo/Mojo Link looked like a larger microUSB and might block the charging port. But it must be a standard size if there's no issue with charging at the same time. Link to comment
No Disc Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 As long as the USB power cable connector is not larger than this one, you should not have any problems. I have a few here and they all fit fine. Thanks ! It's for my Mojo. That's great to hear. The photo of the Curious Hugo/Mojo Link looked like a larger microUSB and might block the charging port.

So I'll use a Regen Link from Mac>Olimex and then a Mojo Link from Olimex>Mojo Link to comment

CAMSHAFT Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Ive been using the Curious USB with my Mojo. I have also been swapping between that and the Paul Pang version. They are very close in presentation. Link to comment
CrushingIt Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Elijah Audio will make one, you just have to ask for mini usb on one end. I'm thinking of going with a separate 5v supply via battery as the Mojo needs to see 5 volts on its usb input. I have one of his isolate cables in my other system and its great. Link to comment
peter27 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Not high-end exactly, but Supra has a well built USB A to USB Micro cable for a modest price. I have just ordered one for the upcoming Hugo 2. Link to comment
