Poly + Mojo 2 is heaven in my opinion.

Already in the box going back. Sound quality over the straight LS50w was maybe a touch more "high end".

The LS50W is an highly regarded integrated streaming speaker system that costs £2,500. Adding an £350 DAC is very unlikely to sound better… and given the streaming capabilities of the KEF system it would be interesting to know why you felt adding a Poly would help.

Hi all, I am looking seriously at grabbing a Poly to mate with my Mojo 2. Primary use would be at home (via WiFi) to stream Qobuz and then hopefully on my work's WiFi network to do the same. Obviously, it depends on how my employer structured their network, but I can tell you after entering the user and password info, there is a screen to accept terms where I have to click "Accept". Will that present an issue for the Poly?

If so, it appears I can have my iPhone start a hotspot and connect to the Poly, but then have my iPhone still use my work WiFi to "pull" the music from Qoboz and also for other app usage - do I have that correct? Many thanks in advance.

I've never tried my office WiFi with Poly, Poly is tricky to get it working on my own hardware, office WiFi security etc etc wasn't something I wanted to deal with.

I use an iPhone SE, a 4G to WiFi USB dongle, mconnect and the Speedify.

The 4G WiFi dongle doesn't even need a Sim card in it to "kick-start" the connection but it makes life easier, once I have it streaming from Qobuz the dongle can be unplugged and it keeps streaming.

Complicated, probably, but it works for me.

That's what I do with my android phone and mconnect and it works perfectly.

As you're using iPhone, Poly does support Airplay which would be a good back up option.

Thank you for the reply. So, just to make sure I'm on the right page - when using the Poly like this (connected to my iPhone hotspot), the iPhone can still be connected to a WiFi network for internet/app usage?

Thank you. Yes, I have read through here and see that folks have had enough difficulty on their home networks, so I can imagine the added nuance to a work network.

Good note on the WiFi dongle, too.

Good idea! Any link for the wifi dongle?

Connected to your iPhone hotspot you can use your phone’s internet, yes.

It should be possible to connect the Poly to your company’s network too. I do this where I work, no problem. But if there is a problem, there are many other ways to connect.

I am surprised that your company is so lax regarding cybersecurity.

How does connecting a Poly compromise cybersecurity?

Your company IT infrastructure has no way of telling that your Poly has not been hacked, and could try and upload malware/ransomware into the IT system.
At my company all non-company equipment is blocked from connecting to the network.

That would be impossible in my workplace. It’s a university.
