Chord Electronics Poly Wireless Module

Chord Electronics Poly Wireless Module

Chord have seen outstanding success with their compact and portable DAC/headphone amplifier the 'Hugo', and their range of audiophile micro components the 'Chordette' series are often regarded higher than similar priced and even more expensive models on the market today; despite their compact sound.

The Poly is a new and revolutionary accessory for the company's highly acclaimed portable headphone amp/DAC, the Mojo. Designed as a high resolution streaming module, the Poly is built around the concept of condensing a high-level PC with a data server, DLNA server, WiFi hub, Bluetooth streamer and an SD card reader/player, all run with and tied together by quality software.

The Poly will stream over both WiFi and apt X lossless Bluetooth. This means music is accessible over wifi networked boxes such as PC computers or network storage drives (NAS). AirPlay is amongst the available wifi options and the Bluetooth capability means that both Apple and Android devices are readily compatible with the Poly module. SD inputs on the Poly allow for direct local playback without compromise or the requirement for a wifi or Bluetooth connection. With digital memory now far more accessible than ever before, larger SD cards can take a large multitude of high resolution audio and store it within the Poly.

The Poly's highly intelligent software and the Mojo's formidable DAC chipset mean that these high res files can be in any PCM format of your choosing, whether it be lossless WAV or ALAC, all the way through to studio-grade DSD64 or DSD512. Basic MP3, WMA, etc are of course also supported. This storage capability means that you're able to free up space on your mobile phone for important images, videos and apps and leave the music storage entirely to the Poly.

The Poly features a quality rechargeable LiPo battery, offering up to nine hours of continuous playback from a four hour charge. Both Mojo and Poly can be charged at the same time.
