And what is that cable? Thanks.

This is from Taobao,
I have the same cable, but for me it is not working.

nikon,

the more i delve into the world of desktop speakers, the less decisive i become.
i've not seen anything to persuade me in the same way that the mojo or magnum v6 drivers both have.

i just got several more suggestions from greenbow:

in addition to the ruark mr1 that's been at the top of my list the whole time.
part of my attraction to the ruark (in addition to bluetooth) is the size of the thing. and still, almost every review lauds it clarity and imaging.

and yet, i can't help but think that the investment i'd put into the ruark would be defeated because, if i grasp things correctly, its bluetooth function can't be utilized while connecting to the mojo's line out. its two biggest draws -- i wouldn't be able to use concurrently.

i'm just hoping to stumble across a desktop set that is head and shoulders above the competition, synergizes with the mojo and remains a bit small.
the adam a5x gets close, but it is rather bulky.
it seems like the genelec's approach that ideal, but they begin the ascent into four digits.

if only i had more desk space! were that the case, i don't think i'd hesitate on one of the kefs mentioned earlier.

I've been there on the positive side there are quite a few choices, on the negative side they are quite a few choices, as much as it's nice to have that many choices, it can be confusing picking a winner.

Having said that if you really feel your desktop is at premium, here are a few choices that help in that regard but keep the reliability up;

Note that you could use the SC204 as well which is the next level up from the SC203 but what's nice about the SC203 is it was designed specifically for maximizing desktop usage.

You may also want to check the Genelec M030 with a very reasonable footprint (not in the four digits ):

My inclination is for the Genelec for form factor, space and performance but YMMV.

Good luck with your purchase!

Decided that although the SQ is amazing from my Android device that I wanted something that stacked better.  
I've bought a new AK100mkii from a US ebay seller.  $399 new with 2 x 64gb memory cards.  Even with the £100 delivery and customs taxes this works out far cheaper than a new one here in the UK.

To connect to my Mojo I wouldn't mind a short length optical cable but don't want to pay as much for the sys concept cables.  Anybody aware of any UK/EU sellers that have cables that are less than the standard 0.5m options that I see most places.  I've seen a Fiio L12 short cable, is that suitable?

Bumping my query in this quick moving thread

Apologies for what might seem like a dumb question but does the AK 120 headphone jack also serve as the optical out?
I have the AK 120 but noticed that folks are connecting the sysconcept optical cable to the headphone jack and not the optical socket.
 
Maybe this is in the manual but not sure.
 
Sorry for dumb question.

The FiiO L12 would be suitable if you get the right adaptor.

3.5mm (FiiO cable from AK100) to TOSlink adaptor (Mojo):

All AK DAPs share optical out with the headphone jack. The AK100 and AK120 have optical input as a seperate jack.

Thanks much for information! Much appreciate it!

[Mojo ideas]

This is a very out of line and somewhat strange appreciation of the sound of Mojo I do really wonder what was going on there. We'd dearly like to get out hands on the whole system that was being played and by whom! So that we could make a very careful investigation as this is very very unusual and would not possibly be validated by so many current Mojo users around the world.

Just reading through DC head fi meet thread/impressions and it doesn't seem all that positive for the Mojo. Most of who heard it felt it was bright and sibilant and not all that impressed. Now I'm getting worried about my order.
The impressions here on this thread seem to be that it's smoother in the upper treble than Hugo but few have noted that it has a slight upper mids/lower treble peak.

Active speakers. ATC300 or nothing! Seriously though the AVIs are superb

dam. that's some wad of cash
looks fantastic though!

Where would one get a short optical cable for connecting an AK100 to the Mojo without the price level of the SysConcept one? It can be 20 - 30 cm or so and not the typical ones of 1 meter or more at computer shops.

Thanks.

1 -it's not sibilant
2- no one I know and trust has had a view that the Mojo is not a good sounding product
3- it makes no difference what others think - I love it! And you will too - that's an order!
