I am currently weighing my options between using the Poly vs a small DAP like the upcoming HiBy R3, and am wondering if y'all could weigh in with your thoughts.
While the Poly is effectively a single unit with a single cable required for charging, it appears that the small DAPs like the HiBy R3 may offer several features not available on the Poly. For instance, there is the ability to output to more devices than just the Mojo, not just by cable, but also by Apt-X, AirPlay etc. Presumably also, there will be no WiFi signal noise on the DAP vs the Poly. The Poly's advantage of being remotely controlled seems to also be negated because small DAPs may have bluetooth remote interfaces as well.
Given that hosting a hotspot either on my iPhone or the Poly for full Glider control leads to significant battery drain, and given that the built-in player in the GoFigure for bluetooth control is too basic compared to an interface like Glider, there is attractiveness in small DAPs with remote interfaces.
