Further to my previous post, I think the Hugo 2 looks fantastic and I love the innovation of the Poly. I will probably pass on the Poly solely because I do not stream my music so to me it represents a solution to a problem I do not have but my hat's off to Chord for design.

Same here, I appreciate the effort that went in to it but I don't stream and only wanted the SD slot and well I've said enough...

I'm not willing to pay $700 for it. That doesn't mean I don't want it, Its a brilliant accessory to the mojo. The SD Card was much needed and chord had always said they'd make a bluetooth/wireless streaming add-on in the future thats the reason I bought the mojo over many other options. My Only Gripe is the Price. its ridiculous, It feels like chord is very disconnected from the kind of customers who bought a mojo compared to the customers who would buy a dave or hugo, Frankly its disrespectful. 

Exactly.
 
I'll be buying the Hugo 2 anyway, but I think it's the consumer's right to whine and complain

The Hugo 2 has my money as well. I feel that the Poly should be around $300 USD max to be worth it.

Even its more pricier than mojo itself

Better saving up a little for dx200.. You can get anything with it.

Im out hahaa

Oh my, it's priced more than my Mojo?! I'm out then (heart broken and head shaking) unless Chord changes their mind.

 

At the price of the Poly I may sell mine as well. The price is a joke!

I hope they will have an MQA firmware update for their devices.  Tidal has started streaming MQA.  Just started reading up on MQA it's supposed to sound better with less bandwidth.

I personally feel the price is justified. Innovation cost money. I am more than happy to support the companies that innovate. Lots of companies make a dap. But does it sound as good as the mojo/poly? The question has to always be asked "what does it sound like?" Do we not remember the Tera Player?!? Everyone thought that screen less device was ridiculously priced until they heard it and then they thought different.

 

[gikigill]

Doesn't sound like $2000 for sure.

Nothing innovative about the Poly, its basically a DAP cut in half with the audio by Mojo and the functionality by Poly and the functionality is very poor with no screen and a dependency on an external device to control it.

What was the revolution than?
Did I miss anything?

This is what the original Geek Wave was supposed to be - transport controlled by a smartphone via app. I've yet to hear the Mojo, but from the looks of it, a smallish fraction of Mojo owners will go for this. Pricing does seem to be the biggest hurdle.

 

[gikigill]

Yup, and the Geek idea was a total non-sequiter. The later Geek Wave made more sense and I put down money on the top of the line Wave.

Yawn. Seriously, this is what everyone was getting super hyped about? A Mojo clip on accessory, an overpriced DAC that gets the crap kicked out of it by Schiit multibit DACs half the price and a CD player? Where is Chord's Mimby/Bimby competitor? Where is MQA support? Big missed opportunity here. The whole countdown thing gets people hyped for nothing. Yup, this has pretty much turned me off from buying anything Chord ever.

Well said.
A phone (2nd hand with SD support and otg) feeds mojo if you just velcro it... The hype train got derailed

I went with the XD128 and I'm already having doubts that it will be delivered this year. I'm still using my beat-to-hell Cowon J3 with the hope they'll actually finish building the darned thing. Based on feedback, it's probably best that I haven't heard the Mojo - it seems like an easy decision once you give it a test run.

Hugo II is a welcome addition, as far as the rest, I'll stay tuned for the next announcement, maybe Hugo iii in three years time?

If it sounds anything like my V2+Infinity, I'll be very happy.

The DAC functionality will be handy too at a pinch to connect to my phone for streaming.

Like most Crowdfunding, I simply puts me money down and forgets about it.

On second thoughts, that's what the Poly should have been with the Mojo doing AMP/DAC duties.
