Chord Electronics ☆ Poly ☆ (wireless & microSD module for Mojo) ☆★►USEFUL INFO on 1st PAGE!!◄★☆
For my primary use cases (office and travel), it’s not an inconvenience, and having the capacity to carry my entire library is a plus. More importantly, all my files play natively. For the gym, I don’t bother with Mojo. Phone and Bluetooth headphones are enough. We’ll see how it is on a plane.- burnspbesq

Chord Electronics ☆ Poly ☆ (wireless & microSD module for Mojo) ☆★►USEFUL INFO on 1st PAGE!!◄★☆
Poly is out of the drawer and back in play, and I suspect it may be back for the long run. There was a post about this in the first 100 pages--maybe the first 50--but it took me six months to try it. Teaming the Poly/Mojo with a WD My Passport Wireless Pro has solved every problem I ever had...- burnspbesq

Has anyone found a consistently reliable way of bypassing AirPlay on iOS devices? I managed it once, and got glorious hi-res and DSD from the Poly's SD card, but never again. FWIW, I generally use hotspot mode and Glider, but I'm happy to try any other config that is shown to work.- burnspbesq

I’m keeping mine, but for the time being it’s in a drawer and I’m back to using the Mojo with a cable and adapter. When Poly works, it’s glorious, but it’s horribly inconsistent. I’ll check in periodically, but I will be unsubscribing from this thread.- burnspbesq

Happy camper now. Listening to Dvorak Slavonic Dances in DSD (Glider is now showing my phone and the Poly’s card as a single library, and hotspot has freed me from the tyranny of AirPlay). Well done, Chord. All is forgiven. Now I need a bigger microSD card.- burnspbesq

Poly has returned from Time-Out and is playing well with the other children. For no apparent reason, I had a rock-solid Wi-Fi connection to my iPhone's portable hotspot today, and successfully upgraded firmware to 1.0.17. Now that I have a solid Wi-Fi connection, I can use Glider to play...- burnspbesq

Took some doing to get there, but I am an almost completely happy camper. Finally got firmware updated to .10. I get immediate power-up. If I remember to turn on mobile hot spot on my iPhone 8 before powering on Mojo/Poly, it connects within seconds. Connect iPad to iPhone via mobile hot spot...- burnspbesq

Well, this is downright bizarre. After hours of struggling, I was able to set up a Wi-Fi connection—or so I thought. I put in the SSID and password for my home Wi-Fi network, and got nothing but the blinking blue “trying to connect” light. After an hour or so of digging around, I found a Chord...- burnspbesq

Poly config is a nightmare for me. On both iPhone and iPad. Bluetooth: it is recognized, but won’t pair. The name that comes up in the device list is not “Poly,” but rather “VFxxxxxx.” The popup to enter “0000” never pops up. I get the “Pairing unsuccessful” popup on the phone. Have tried a...- burnspbesq

Every country is defferent, but in the UK when you are a non-EU resident you can ask the retailer to give you a special receipt that doubles as a request for a refund of the VAT that is baked into the price. You can either fill it out and mail it in when you get home or take care of it at the...- burnspbesq

So I guess what you're telling me is that I should start calling around the minute I clear customs at Heathrow on 02 July and keep my fingers crossed that someone in greater London has one left. VAT refund makes Mojo amd Poly much more affordable. ;-)- burnspbesq

4th Annual San Diego Head-Fi Meet: Saturday, November 7th, 2015
Well, drat: Email from Cavalli says my Liquid Carbon is supposed to ship the week of 09 November, just in time to miss the meet. Keeping fingers crossed that it will show up ahead of schedule. If there is any interest in hearing it, I can bring an AK Jr. Some might find a comparo between Jr...- burnspbesq

True, but: (1) Legal problems, especially IP, tax, or customs law problems, can kill a young company just as dead, and just as fast, as having products blow up on customers' racks. (2) Your accountant doesn't know nearly as much about tax as he or she claims to know, and that's...- burnspbesq

I'd like some of whatever that guy was smoking/injecting/putting up his nose. The volume control is fine, ergonomically. Some have reported issues with the volume control having too narrow a range; I respectfully disagree.- burnspbesq
