  so will it play sd card stored music by any music app in android or ios like neutron, or will it be a by dedicated music player for chord specifically

It is a DLNA device so it will only play music that is stored locally on the Poly module. Your smartphone/tablet just acts as the controls and UI. There are numerous DLNA capable apps - some free (AK Connect) others for a few dollars.

 
DLNA can stream from another device for playback.  I've been doing it with a Soundaware server for a while now, though I'm not sure how this might work with the Poly, if at all.

No hardware play/next/prev buttons?
2.4 GHz only and just one microsd slot?
500 gbp ?
Noway.

You still need your phone as your primary control for music, etc... Think of it like you add a little bit of kick to the Mojo for $600. LOL!

Poly's output is over USB direct to the USB Input on the MoJo.

The question is whether this USB is only useable with Mojo or with any other DAC USB input (either direct or with adapter).

If Poly were universally compatible and NOT manufacturer 'locked', it would extend its useful life and address a much bigger market than Mojo users who can be price sensitive.

I assume it will work with other USB dac with an adapter, because Mojo's usb port is generic ...!

It's not locked to just Mojo

Now people will use it as a network streamer .. Price Justified .. Other network streamers are far more expensive than Poly also with less/same functionalities !
You just need a Female Micro to USB A/B/C/Micro cable and you are done !

Seeing that Poly uses DLNA, I was trying remember how it worked and I came across this: 
https://www.dlna.org/

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 5, 2017 – The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA®) today announced that the organization has fulfilled its mission and will dissolve as a non-profit trade association.

 
DLNA never caught on with the general public, and the connected home trend bypassed it completely. DLNA will become one of those zombie technologies that fades away with time.

Cool, I asked this yesterday, if i could attach it to my 2Qute, I can see myself using this more at home than with my Mojo out and about.

  Indeed. It would be nice if I can control it with my iWatch, which is what I currently do, and works very well I add.
