Chord Electronics Poly Wireless Streaming Add-On Module for Mojo
Chord Electronics’ new wireless streaming module, Poly, enables the award-winning Mojo headphone amp/DAC as a fully fledged high-resolution wireless network music player and SD card playback device, all with smartphone/device control. Poly removes the need for a wired link between phone and Mojo for the first time and allows a world of content to be decoded and played back using Chord’s proprietary DAC technology.
Poly is a revolutionary streaming module for Mojo and is based on a condensed high-level PC, with data server, DLNA receiver, Wi-Fi hub, Bluetooth module and SD card reader/player functionality, plus highly sophisticated software. Poly enables wireless audio playback from smartphones and for the first time, negates the need for a cable between the two devices.
Poly acts as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hub and can access music in a number of ways including streaming over Wi-Fi, network storage devices (NAS) and collections stored on SD cards (using MPD). Bluetooth connectivity and AirPlay functionality provide real flexibility with smartphones and enable multiple Mojo/Poly combinations to be used throughout the home, providing a high-quality multi-room streaming playback solution.
Poly removes the original need for a wired link between the smartphone and Mojo, and is controlled wirelessly from Android and iOS apps on your phone. When connected to Mojo, Poly conveniently slips into pockets, bags and handbags — it doesn’t need to be hand-carried or regularly checked like other players.
Poly is compatible with the latest high-resolution-audio file types and supports PCM files up to 768kHz resolution and DSD64 to DSD512 (Octa-DSD). Poly’s high-quality SD card reader/player frees up smartphone memory and storage, so vast libraries no longer need be kept locally on phones.
Poly integrates with advanced music players such as Roon (excluding SD access) and supported file types (at the time of writing) include: ACC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, OGG VORBIS, ALAC, WMA and MP3. The device includes a rechargeable LiPo battery giving around nine hours playback from a sub-four-hour charge using the device’s fast-charging circuit; both Mojo and Poly can be simultaneously charged.
Why Poly?
The name is derived from the ancient Greek word meaning ‘a large number’ or ‘many’. The moniker is ideal for a product that is capable of incredible, wide-ranging functionality.

"This network streaming solution is a force to be reckoned with. The Poly is a briliant piece of hi-fi kit, but there are plenty of hurdles to jump before you can reach that positive conclusion." (Read More) Equipment Review - What HiFi - October 2017 |

"Since the launch of the Mojo, it has remained unchallenged as the benchmark for portable audio digital conversion at the price and way beyond. The Mojo+Poly simply integrate perfectly to deliver that articulate, hugely entertaining, and naturally rhythmic sound of the Mojo with greater flexibility."(Read More) Equipment Review - Hi-Fi+ - February 2018 |

"There are few 'done deals' in audio, but the Chord Mojo+Poly is just that. Once you begin to get just why the Poly is so useful, the excellent Mojo becomes almost redundant without its partner. Poly is Starsky to Mojo's Hutch, Wallace to Mojo's Gromit. Basically, once the Poly was clicked into place next to Mojo, there was never a time when Mojo was going to be seen out on its own again. Poly simply makes the Mojo so much more than just a DAC." (Read More) Ultimate Headphone Guide - Hi-Fi+ - Summer 2018 |

"Mojo and Poly both use a matching aluminium case and similar design to provide a seamless fit when paired together." (Read More) Equipment Review - Hi-Fi World - March 2018 |

"To be blunt, the firmware update doesn’t alter sound reproduction as that’s the job of the Mojo – which is a clean, detailed, crystal-clear DAC with impressive bandwidth. But what it does do is make control of the Poly seem a lot slicker, tracks loading faster from my NAS drive and playing quicker. The biggest boost for me is the addition of support for Tidal and Qobuz." (Read More) Hi-Fi World - Equipment Review - August 2019 |

I first bought Audioquest Carbon Usb-c to Usb-c cable and was thrilled with it. Then remembered the Poly add-on for Mojo/2. Mark at FutureShop gave me great advice and arranged the exchange for me with no bother.
Absolutely thrilled with the Poly. Another step up in beautiful audio. I can't recommend it enough.
Thanks, Mark and thanks FutureShop.

A bit of a headache to set up initially but once done it's fantastic. Purchased to stream from my mobile whilst I'm out and about with a pair of Campfire Audio Solaris 2020, the sound quality over a WiFi hotspot is absolutely fantastic as you would expect from the Mojo. All of the hassle of the initial config is absolutely worth it.
It's a lumpy wonky thing but I really do love it.

Poly is magnificent! The best addition to Mojo which turns it into even more functional device. Now I can listen to music in high quality without computer, thanks of the Chord Electronics company for their work! I thank FutureShop, my purchase from you - a gift for my birthday, you were in time)))
An excellent addition to the brilliant Mojo

I have recently received the Poly and as one of the first purchasers of the device Chord supplied to me without charge a nice leather case for the Mojo/Poly combination. After some initial difficulty in getting the Poly to pair with my iPhone I now have no trouble at all. I have also just received the SD card I ordered from Amazon. Again I had some initial difficulties in getting the hi res tracks I downloaded from my PC to the SD card to play through the Poly, but once the penny dropped I was bowled over by the quality of the sound produced through my excellent Oppo planar magnetic headphones.
Very well done to futureshop for its usual efficiency and friendly service and especially to Tom Vaughan of Chord whose response to my many emailed requests for assistance was always most prompt and invariably helpful. I am delighted with the Poly!
