would it be too risky to buy a poly now if i were to use it just for streaming roon from my imac?

It works perfectly (and sounds fantastic) for several of us with that use case (Roon). If you try it and it works in your network, keep it. Otherwise, you can return it.

Maybe so just be aware of thr poly/mojo case, the wristband can break off mid use, i lost my mojo/Poly/case in a lake because of it ... Now I'm out of luck

 

[musickid]

Buy it on Amazon and if it doesn't work for your use case then you can return it within 30 days.

I for one am too poor to use Roon so can't provide personal feedback. However there's a lot of Roon users here successfully pairing Poly with it. So I would say it's not too risky. Support from Chord and others on this forum have been good for those experiencing any sort of issue. I think Poly is a good buy since it comes with a built-in minigame component called "Will it Work Today or Not?" which is always fun. Not to mention owning a Poly now, pre GoFigure app, and using the Config Tool pin is an experience in itself. You will have stories to share with the grandchildren when they ask "what was the most frustrating time in your life, Grandpa/Grandma?"

In all seriousness tho', Poly is & will be a great device when all the kinks are worked out and that elusive app comes along.

Not insured, but damn ... I lost everything, the Mojo /Poly /case.

The weight of the combo dropping to the lake unplugged my iems luckily.
It's depressing.

Amazon USA doesn't have Poly

 

[musickid]

my dealer here has reassured me i have 30 days to trial. if it works keep it otherwise no questions asked return. the only thing which concerns me is if it is worth trying it in the hope roon/poly will sound better than roon/optical? i don't have mobile needs or round the house i sit at my desk and listen. however there must be a dozen reports here stating poly has elevated the sound quality of mojo (when streaming). interesting times...ummm

this was triggered by just how good kirk whalum on sax sounded with optical earlier today. i realised mojo is not to be underestimated when compared to dacs higher up in the chord chain. my mojo can easily beat more expensive desktop rigs. i also had some bugs with h2 last summer which was returned. my mojo experience has been very good so far apart from my oppo pm1 jack needing adjusting to fit 3.5mm mojo connector. the mojo cable pack with adaptor should fix that. has anyone tried to use the mojo headphone adaptor? i have 24 hrs to educate myself on all matters poly as my dealer needs an answer soon!!

Hi MK,

At this point I am pretty much using my MojoPoly with Roon and Glider, mostly the former as I am using it in place of a big can system I recently got rid of and wanted a strictly portable replacement both for the road, travel and home.

First the good. I personally think, the SQ is the best my Mojo has sounded since I got it. IMHO a real step up. When it is working it is a real pleasure.

The bad. While, for some reason, I have not experienced a "big problem" over the last 10 days, I did have many dropouts, start and stops. I have no idea why, but in the last 10 days (fingers crossed) I haven't had any issues, with the exception of DXD, which is a big burden for any wireless streamer. I am using an EERO network, and have 9 units in a mesh network throughout my house. I have noticed, that sometimes the Poly would connect at 5Ghz but usually as the 2.4Ghz required protocol. I am not sure if that was/is the issue. Apparently, the EERO "learns" with time, best pipeline, etc with time and "maybe" that is why I am not experiencing any issue of late. There are people with a more sophisticated network than mine, including a Meraki, that were experinceng similar issue where the Poly would connect as 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz as well, but with that system, I hear you can set up a dedicated profile for you Poly for a 2.4Ghz connection only. I am not sure if this is "the issue" with those of us experiencing streaming issues with Roon, but a firmware update on the Poly only allowing 2.4Ghz connections might be "a fix". Not sure.

 

[musickid]

is the 2.4 update your idea or something chord have said they will do? my virgin hub has lights on for 2.4 and 5. cheers mk i have 30 days money back so i'll try.

is our new friend cookie having problems?

No I have not heard this addressed, other than by myself with an EERO and others with a Meraki. I have not seen or heard whether this is something Chord can do in a firmware upgrade. I was just posting that some of us who are/were experiencing issues, noticed that connections at 2.4 and 5 were occurring and may be the source of an issue. Right now, my Poly has been connecting at 2.4Ghz (as I said, the EERO "learns") and my issues are much less, almost non-existent, except for a brief stutter upon starting a DSD256.

 

[musickid]

i only use 16/44 roon occasionally masters so hopefully poly would cope. i'm very grateful for the amount of feedback/help within 10mins from everyone. if i order a poly can i be assured that all of these other issues will eventually be sorted by chord to the full. finally which mojos had problems turning poly on/off. i bought my mojo 3/4 months ago?

I recommend Poly Case v2.0 comes with a built-in flotation device. And a GoFloat app. I hope John & Matt see this.

Sorry for your loss.

don't waterski with MojoPoly

Thanks for the reply. We normally use a Google Pixel and Motorola Moto G for our shows and testing and they work well. One of our guys here has a Samsung Note 8 so I'll ask him to try as well.

Matt, I am experiencing the same with my HTC 10 (7.0). The BubbluUPnP keeps crashing once every 10 mins. M.A.L.P is quite good though.
