1. I don't think the streaming apps offer this kind of functions.
2. I guess the 500 means 499 gbp preorder, not limited 500 free cases.

Thanks for your reply!
 
1. Well, most streaming services  offer the possibility to store your downloaded music to an SD card (within the settings of Spotify, Tidal or Apple music, for example). I was just wondering whether it is possible to select the Poly`s SD card in these settings when the device is connected?
 
2. Sorry, I am not a native English speaker: What do you mean by "gbp"? "British Pounds"? Then I am not sure what exactly you mean? That everybody who orders in England receives a case?

  You do realize Android phones have the biggest market share in cell phones right?  Seems to me you made the poly primarily for the iphone and android was an after thought.  

 
Seems that way. Afraid I'm out of the Poly now but still considering a Hugo 2 instead (which does have aptx BT)
 
I just can't force myself to go back to using iPhones.
 
Also, no reason not to include Aptx as wouldn't affect iPhone use. Other devices support multiple Bluetooth protocols including my B&W P7 wireless.  My Sony Z5 pushes LDAC BT as the best at 3x data rate of normal BT but still also supports aptx.

No that is not the case the i phone point I made was a valid one but of course we designed Poly for Android phones why would we be implementing Googlecast otherwise. Including this has been a considerable amount of developement effort and time.

hey there,

I think the lack of APTX is not a big deal... certainly not a deal breaker...at least not for me.

I don't think that many people would choose APTX Bluetooth for critical listening, and Mojo/Poly is a audiophile Combo.

The main aspect for me is the integration of Mojo into my home network / two channel system and on top of that you get a headless DAP... So I can live without Aptx... and maybe it can be added further down the line.

Cheers

Not always "critical listening" from SD card in Poly, also want to listen to Offline/Streamed Spotify/Tidal while out & about and only way to do that on Android looks to be over Bluetooth. In my experience aptx sounds better than without. Also, the Hugo 2 does have Aptx so go figure that ??

 

[audi0nick128]

Yeah, streaming on the go is a factor, definitely....

But as I said before there are Apps to use Airplay on Android...

Cheers

I realize that Bluetooth playback is not a primary focus for Poly, but still...
Poly is a high end accessory that costs more than a Mojo, and it should be expected to deliver the best available Bluetooth performance. As a product that aspires to be at the top level, lack of aptX is a glaring omission. We're not talking about exotic technology — aptX capable receivers are available from Amazon for $20!

It's happening Friday/Saturday NEXT WEEK. Don't be late

No sorry not yet! I'm told the final first batch PCBs arrive in April however the preproduction units are now working extremely well.

 

[Mojo ideas]

Or, they did what was right to appease both apple and Android. Dont you think it would be selfish the other way?

No the decision was far more complicated than that! Because the Bluetooth Aptx module is considerably larger that the straight A2dp module and this would have had constrained what we were doing in other areas which we considered far more important. In our opinion with all of the wifi methods available BTooth has always been the last resort connection mode, but it will provide an additional method of control at some point in the future when say we roll out an automatic Poly WiFi software update to control Poly from a smart watch. Yes this software is being written as I write this! However it won't be ready for first production but will be ready in about three to four months and all Poly's will be updated automatically when they are linked to the internet smart phone smart control I sincerely hope you all like this idea with MojoPoly in your pocket Mobile audio will be very different from now on I think!
