Chord Mojo

Anyone here with a Chord Mojo? Have you tried outputting the Mojo to F90 B&O audio system?

I've been using a samsung T5 SSD with all my music on it. Never thought to use a DAC, but I don't want to go down the interconnect rabbit hole in my car

I was thinking of just putting it in to usb that's in armrest compartment with a short usb cable. Stream to it with the Chord Poly.

Honestly, try the SSD connected straight into the system via USB in the armrest compartment. I would love to hear your thoughts of the comparison with the Chord. All my files are FLAC and it sounds good.

Is there an analog input in the car? I thought it was only USB. And if so, how would you connect the Mojo? Is there a way to get to an analog input? Otherwise it would be back to digital and then use the B&W DAC.

You can get a 3.5mm to usb cable. But as stated above it's likely a mute point. I'll test it soon tho.

I'd like to know how the Chord Mojo can be used in the car as well. I have one, but I'm noticing that I'm not using it much at work (as that was my intention when I bought it). Maybe would be better if paired with the Poly and into the car?

I'd love if something like this works where streaming flac over LTE network using Tidal on the iphone, Into the Chord Mojo, analog line out into an analog line in to the car.

You can stream flac. Problem is you're still streaming and I have a feeling the high bit rates still get reduced.

I stream flac without issue which is always at 16 bit / 44.khz (CD quality) basically. I then typically use the Apple Camera Kit usb cable and go into the Chord Mojo. From there, a line out can be gotten through the Mojo using a 3.5mm jack.

I'm not sure how to get a line in (Aux in?) to the BMW system.
