Another consideration was pointed out by @Matt Bartlett a while back, that transferring many GB of music files in one batch, seems to cause some SD cards to overheat and malfunction.
I concur. It's absolutely hilarious that a unit that's all about connectivity has so many connectivity problems. The idea behind Poly is groundbreaking, but 'Poorly' would have been a more appropriate name with reference to the way the idea is carried out.
Once setup Mojo/Poly is a very capable Roon endpoint
I've found Roon ocassionally drops when playing HiRes (24-bit FLAC) to Poly over my wi-fi. Other Roon endpoints are hardwired with ethernet cable. I run Roon Server from a Synology NAS and wi-fi is a very robust Asus AI Mesh. I have initiated the process of moving Roon to an Intel NUC and run ROCK instead in the hopes of better overall performance. Will hopefully get the ordered parts by this weekend.
I also use my Poly primarily as a Roon endpoint, it's nice to have the portability throughout the house for headphone listening. I'm running Roon on a NUC and the performance with the Poly has been flawless. I had also used Poly for outdoor use but eventually just found it too bulky to carry on walks. Hope you enjoy your experience with your new Poly.
I was an early purchaser of Poly as well many years ago. The Poly had problems and within a few months of ownership it was replaced by Chord under warranty. The replacement has been problem free ever since. So perhaps buying one now may be a better experience if it is from a more current manufacture batch. If you do buy new from authorized reseller then you'll have a new warranty anyway just in case.
Good luck with that...
It is a real shame that the original promise of Poly development (Casting, Spotify etc) has basically evaporated.
Keep that in mind the next time this company puts out a new product. (I know I will)
