Thankfully we're covered by consumer protection laws in Australia. Consumers are entitled to a replacement/refund in the case of a major problem.In the USA the resellers haven’t been informed of send your unit back program and those of us outside the return window continue to wait for Chord to do whatever it is they claim they are going to do.
I would gladly send it back if I could. Trust me.
The answer is somewhere in the middle. DLNA is still being used for device discovery and to index your music library, but MPD is being used for all playback commands. DLNA has the benefit of not needing to manually configure your device host and port, and also provides a richer set of metadata over MPD when indexing your library. MPD has the benefit of being a much faster protocol, and on the Poly it also provides DSD and gapless playback, and doesn't suffer from the track start synchronization issue that can cause the start of each track to sound like it's been cut off.
It might sound like a big mess under the hood, but the goal is for you to just launch the app and listen to your music. No prior or future knowledge of MPD, DLNA or any other technical term required.
Joe, you mentioned that the DLNA label will be deleted in the output device name, then how to select DLNA playback rather than airplay or can I prioritise the payback modes. To me playback via DLNA has better sound quality, but some songs are only stored in my iPhone so need airplay to play.
Do you mean that if I have the same album in both the SD card and iPhone,Glider will always pay the SD card version via MPD?There will still be two outputs just like before, but the non-AirPlay variant will use MPD now instead of DLNA for the reasons mentioned above. As far as I know, sending MPD commands to the Poly as opposed to DLNA commands will not affect the sound in any way (other than gaining gapless playback).
Well done Joe it works great!The answer is somewhere in the middle. DLNA is still being used for device discovery and to index your music library, but MPD is being used for all playback commands.

So is anyone happy with the Poly? I really want one for air travel but this thread is a nightmare.
Oh dear those Amazon reviews...

I bought a Mojo about 2 months ago fully expecting to buy a Poly to go along with it. Not only am I not going to be buying a Poly (even if they get it working), I'm looking at dumping my Mojo for a iDSD product.
