Adding Chord Mojo to Rock

Yep. I use a 10m Corning optical USB3.0. No problems with bit perfect playback. I’ve done a lot of testing to confirm that.

I’m one of the lucky ones that’s never had issues with the infamous Corning cable but many many have. You can see feedback on Amazon.

This Monoprice one has much better reviews and is a newer product than the Corning:

They have a good return policy too I think if you’re in the US?

If my Corning ever dies, I’ll get the Monoprice one.

The catch with both of the above products is that they won’t work on their own with fully USB powered DACs. They don’t provide a lot of current - only enough to maintain the USB connection (handshake). But you’re fine in this case with Chord Mojo as it is ‘self powered’ by battery or externally 5Vdc powered.

Somebody with an iFi micro iDSD (for example) that is fully USB powered wouldn’t be able to use the above, unless they added an externally powered USB hub in between.

Hope this helps.

Btw: are you Earth, Wind & Fire PB? :grin:
