Connect to iPhone cellular data like this, use Mconnect and choose poly as both server and renderer to play music uncompressed on the SD card inside your poly

I get how to do this, but streaming over a hotspot drains phone battery bigtime

You dont need to stream. Turn on hotspot. Use mpd client to start playing music which is stored on poly sd card. Turn off hotspot and leave music playing.

Hi guys, I have a plan to buy mojo+poly, I have some questions hope you guys can help me
1/ When I stream via AirPlay (iOs) with apple music, does poly recieve the original file from apple music? I mean is there any difference between airplay and using the cable?
2/Is there any delay when streaming via air play?
Thanks!

1: As far as I know using Airplay always sends the audio via the phone, it doesn't work like SpotifyConnect where the player streams direct from Spotify and the phone is just a remote control. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
2: There is a slight delay when skipping tracks but nothing long enough that it'll annoy you, as long as you have a good WiFi connection and fast enough internet the buffer time is really short.

I use Apple Music via Airplay from my iPAD. As long as your internet and local network is not congested, then the streaming from the iPad is pretty seamless. USB in my opinion is not a great solution and the SQ is not as good using a lighting to Micro USB.

Example: Apple Music file is 24 bit/96 khz, does mojo recieve 24 bit/96 khz file via airplay? And if yes, why does the SQ is not good as cable?
Thank you!

You can look at your settings on your ios device. It will show you what you can stream. You can stream up to 24-bit 48 khz lossless to your poly. That is CD quality.

You can use 24/192 via the usb cable. I suspect that direct USB connection requires more hardware to clock the signal and or reduce jitter. I can just
tell you it is much less musical when I plug my lightning to micro usb cable direct to the mojo.

Is the new firmware update out finally?

Tried the Poly today for laughs and the Poly did not get recognized on the same network, which is a clear issue from Chord as every device I have does not have this issue.

Latest response from a week ago was “soon” as they want it to be flawless.

I also asked about Spotify connect and got the following response.

"Yes, this is being worked on. There are specific complexities which I can't go into but we're most of the way there."

"There are specific complexities which I can't go into" sounds similar to their old excuses for lack of Casting.
I'm not holding my breath.

It would be wild if they pulled off Spotify Connect. Hard to believe honestly

 

[Another Audiophile]

Let’s see if there will be an update at all. I have very very low expectations

Sadly this is not true. The source might be 24/48, but AirPlay downmixes it to 16/44. If you want hi-res your options are Tidal, Qobuz, or flacs off an SD card.

They can get away by saying it does by including "up to" in their description. So is there any device out there that will actually accept and show it is receiving 24/48?
