Yeah well i expected there to be stock ready at retailers around the world on launch day. :/ And now I'm worried that the pre-order bonus cases will all be snatched up by UK, although I ordered pretty early (April 1st).

Also contacted my retailer couple weeks ago about a replacement battery for Mojo, they are asking from Chord, but still no response on that :/ Also how serviceable is Poly, these kind of mobile devices need new batteries every couple years.

Zojokkeli: If you want to connect something (optical, coax, etc.) physically to the Mojo then yes, you would have to remove the Poly. However you can stream to the Poly in many different ways via your phone, tablet, computer and then of course you need to have the Poly connected. Have you looked at any images of the Mojo and Poly I wonder? Maybe I didn't get your question.

I guess my question would be if its possible to stream all audio from PC to Poly?

That would make the process of removing the protective case and Poly from Mojo when I'm at home redundant. If that makes sense.

Well you probably can stream, but for gaming, i think there will be too much delay. Movies maybe if the playback software allows audio offset/delay correction.

When will the product be on sale in North America, especially in Canada?
I asked bluebirdmusic in Canada they don't give any date, and the other question is R we gonna be eligible for the free case offer or all gone to UK residents?
How is the shipment process is running pls elaborate(you mentioned that released to distribution channels in UK after then what?) so we can estimate the timing. Thanks.

!! I also agree with @madrei83 about the cases needed to be ready for the product launch so the apps also. !!
As I said the chord Mojo long case has been available for sale since January 2017 and we are making 3000 available FOC these are going to all our distributors beyond that there are more of the same hard case type in our warehouse ready for sale and further to this we have commissioned a slim fit slip on case from Van Nuys in Tokyo. Available as soon as we will get them. It should be noted Apple do no make phone cases themselves and have never given any cases away to my knowledge.

Yea, I would like to know this too. I have a preorder through moon audio in the US and I have heard nothing so far, so my assumption is that chord probably shipped them all to retailers at the same time, and being based in the UK, obviously the UK retailers got them first. Just no idea how much longer it will take. I am fine being patient (have been patient this long), but its going to be mighty disappointing if the free case vouchers are only for UK buyers or are gone before I even get my unit because the UK customers all got theirs first and snapped up all the cases. And normally I wouldnt care (dont use a case with the mojo), but since it appears that the poly attaches just by usb, a case seems pretty necessary for any kind of out and about usage... to hold them together. And if the mojo case is anything to go by, I would assume that if I had to buy a case, its going to be 100+ extra dollars on top of the cost of the poly and mojo.

Hope I didnt come off as spoiled or entitled, I dont mean to be. Just want some more info here so I know what to expect, and would obviously prefer to get a case for free if possible.
The USA should be getting there shipment within a few days lasted by the end of next week. We were unable to as our distributor advised us they could not accept them.

Apple gave away free cases/bumpers for the iPhone 4, but that was out of necessity rather than generosity.

Apple does sell Apple designed, branded cases and they are always available when new phones launch.

No ! we didn’t ship late to our distribution channels in the U.K.

I didn't say you did!! Just rest of the Europe/world, as i see it, there should have been products ready to ship for consumers at retailers around the world on launch day. Since there was no mention that the 19th was UK only release date.

Please read my posts at the bottom of the previous page!

I don't see any answers there for other countries shipping dates or regarding the way the case promo codes work, if there is more codes distributed than free cases available (so people who get their polys 1st will get them). Or if the codes have been distributed more evenly around the world with stock lasting for all of them.

Also as said before, no announcements about the new features. Those should have been announced when the winner for the forum competition was chosen, or on product release. Who ever won it, could you tell us what were your guesses for new features?

''....we have a new slim fit beautiful leather sleeve in manufacture for us in Japan by VanNuys these will be available as soon as we have them. Images to follow.
Looking forward to it! Can we see a picture now? Like..before the official ones, pre production, to get an ideea? :)
Also, for the harsher conditions, can you recommend a Pelican case?
Not that I don't like the MojoPoly case, but in my opinion the Mojo and Poly design is sooo great, the feel of the materials, that I would never use a case on it. By the way, how sensitive is the connection between them to external pressure, how important is having a case? For pocket use I mean, carefully placed in, not backpack or other hazardous spaces? I know you have tested lots of times the plug in/out action..
And now that the launch happened can you pls tell us about the other Poly features we were challenged to guess?
Thank you, thank you and....thank you! :)))
Since Mojo everything else I have hardware wise just faded away to never use, iBasso, Matrix, even HD 800, with IE 800 I am always amazed, the rest just disappears in the background :))) I am dreaming of playing my Roon straight from my PC to MojoPoly, it's so convenient to not even touch the DAC AMP and have all the Roon experience on the big screen, wireless. The "no display" it really is a genial idea, don't know why some just don't get it, it's pure freedom! Use your own large, small, fixed, mobile screen or application! What else can you ask for?!
And for the Bluetooth questions, it's good as it is, for controls, other ways what is the point of listening to such low-fi codecs through hi-fi hardware? Battery wise just use it straight from the phone, it's lossy anyway, May it be BTH 10 or whatever![/QUOTE]

That's correct, due to problems with the antennae causing a 'crapstorm' for Apple at the time.

Will micro-sd cards need to be formatted in the Poly? I've got 2 high capacity ones in my Questyle QP1R, but am guessing they'll need to be re-formatted. Thx for any advice.
