Chord Electronic’s new Poly wireless streaming miracle made to connect with the best portable digital to analog converter (DAC) - the Chord Mojo - continues Chord’s inspiring and unmatched commitment to mobile high fidelity (hi-fi). Unlike many audio gear makers Chord sees our smartphone mobile music future.
Before Chord’s Poly feeding high-resolution music files to high end headphones and in-ear monitors (IEMs) was a pain. Don’t want massive storage space hungry music files clogging up precious smartphone memory? No worries Chord Poly to the rescue.
The Chord Poly fits Lego-like to the Chord Mojo DAC and headphone amplifier. “Fully fledged high-resolution wireless network music player, streamer and SD card playback device with wireless playback and control from smartphones,” is how Chord Electronics explains their new, unique and still highly portable Poly.
CHORD POLY SCREENLESS SMARTPHONE ENABLED WONDER?
Think of the new Chord Poly as the Mojo’s Siamese twin. When paired together the Chord Mojo and Poly create a high resolution (Hi-Res) audio player without a screen. The Mojo + Poly pairs with your iPhone, iPad or Android for display and control.
If there is a more beautiful example of building a digital music device to connect, enliven, and extend mobile music we’re unaware. Chord’s new Poly illustrates several audio gear trends we will see more of including:
- Lego-Like - Build components to connect and extend existing gear
- Use OPP (Other People’s Platforms) - Create components with smartphones in mind
- Portability - Chord’s Mojo and Poly fit into pockets and are easily mobile
- Networks and Hubs - Poly stores, streams and plays beautiful music without wires or smartphone storage or performance limitations
- Mobile High Fidelity - Chord Poly Micro SD Card and massive Wifi bandwidth means sound quality won’t suffer when you’re listening on the road
- Streaming Hi-Res - We’re moving from the wonder of portable music to the desire for better sounding mobile music and Mojo + Poly delivers a timely treat at or away from home
CHORD POLY WIRELESS MUSICAL PC IN YOUR POCKET
The Chord Poly combines a “condensed high-level PC, data server, DLNA receiver, Wi-Fi hu, Bluetooth module and SD card reader/player functionality with highly sophisticated software” says Chord Electronics. We believe in and trust Chord Electronics.
