I'm guessing your mojo is still micro USB. Usb-c doesn't seem to be as temperamental as OTG with micro USB.
If you're running the Android 8.x you can even output via LDAC over BT to the M0 and...

Not everyone has problems but many do. Look on the forums. IFI, Mojo and numerous others. I’ve gone through several OTG cables, loaded the appropriate software and still I can’t get My S8+ to talk to...

My shanling M1 and now M0 played and play well with my Note 8 and S9+. Can also transmit LDAC from the phone to the M0 via BT and use wired cans from the M0.

Getting the phone to play nice with the USB is difficult sometimes. Many dac amps don’t work well with phones.

LDAC and Apt-X HD. Why would it be sacrilege? Though i don't know if this is capable of LDAC.
If you don't need all the various output options, I highly recommend checking out a little gem, the...

I’ve tried two dac amps now and getting them to actually work with Android can be very frustrating. I have an S8+. Plus really there seems to be a consencous on the forums that the 9018 in all...

I think you may have made a mistake. I have never heard of a portable Dap that has 150 Watts.

An external DAC/Amp would be my choice. You need to use USB Audio Player Pro to send a bit perfect signal to the DAC/amp and you'll be set.
Monoprice is working on an awesome little DAC/Amp that...

So what's better, an android phone with external DAC/Amp like the iFi Nano, or one of these dedicated players? iFi is like $200, and everyone has a phone, etc. they can use as a source.

For a phone it’s a no brainer. No one is even near to this phone on sound. These are like any other product. Say like a car. A VW will take you on that 1000 mile trip just like a Bentley. But to...

I'm listening to a new album of Mahler's 4th Symphony from the RCO. It's the studio master, 24bit/192khz. Sounds amazingly detailed through the Quad DAC. I'm using Neutron MP for paly back. The ESS...

It’s not about the DAC, it’s about how it’s implimented. You can find Flagship DACs that sound horrible. You forget about all the pieces that make a DAC sound good like software, clocks etc. I have a...

Neutron MP is absolutely essential to maximize the performance of the ES9218 DAC inside the V20. Without Neutron 16bit local storage files are resampled to 48khz by the Android audio stack. This...

Hell yeah! V20 shiiits all over this if you install Nequtron MP. There is no comparison. V20 has the ES9218 Quad DAC. What is this? Garbage DAC chip. Cirrus Logic is bottom drawer in today's DAC...
