I found for the tethering issue 6:00 with my iphone12 pro that I had to go to Cellular Data Options under the Cellular Setting, then Voice & Data and switch to LTE, i.e., switch off any 5G options. After that all the same as in the video except the wifi symbol for me showed up as LTE, not 4G but seems to be the same thing. Now it works great!
You are the first person to explain clearly and simply how the Polly can work out and about with a mobile phone! Thank you! Chord should pay you as this is one of the most important features and makes the Poly a worthwhile investment. Cheers
You should wait until the app shows you are on hot spot mode as I showed on the video with the icon coming up before proceeding. I’m surprised Chord didn’t make this clear if they haven’t changed the manual or made further videos. Make sure it is charged. What type of phone and mobile provider?
Did you watch my clip at 6:11 onwards as when you’ve gone into Gofigure and paired the poly to the phone , when you jog the hotspot you see it change from WiFi symbol to the 4g/5g etc. That means the phone is broadcasting its hotspot which is then recognisable in go figure which is telling poly to find it. When you go back into the go figure app you can find the personal hotspot network name and add the hotspot password that you have on your iPhone, found under the hotspot settings on the iPhone.
Also I think the led lights need to be on the poly to show it has power . There are two lights one for power for the mojo2 and the other for the poly, both on the end of the poly where the clear plastic aerial window is. If your poly doesn’t have power you won’t be able to connect. The poly battery can run out and mojo2 doesn’t feed it it’s power supply. Mojo2 charges first then when at power it passes current through to the poly to charge it.
Hey Simon, I'm planning to replace my single Mojo with this v2 and with a Poly. I'm just wondering... is it possible to download music data from TIDAL to an SD card? I'm not sure wireless streaming can give me better quality than an expensive cable between my iPhone and the Mojo2. Also, using another cable between devices is exhausting and inconvenient. But I'm sure, playing music directly from the Poly's SD card is better than a simple Mojo with a cable from my phone. So my only bottleneck before buying is, I'm not sure downloading TIDAL content to SD card is possible or not. Did you try that or do you know about that something? Thank you ;)
Surprise they don't just sell a fixed £800 device since you need the Bluetooth functionality to play music but the sd slot means you can listen to high bit rate music like a mp3 player without the screen but use your phone
Thank you for this review! Especially the tethering! I do have a question. My Poly is not showing up in mconnectlite as a local storage device and how do I tell if my micro sd card is wifi enabled?
Thanks Simon. I’ve bought the Poly Mojo 2 and it’s one of the best audiophile investments I’ve ever made. Portable music is sublime and when I use the combo in one of my home systems, it renews my love of music with the way Rob Watts has voiced it. Love it!
They are good. I was listening to my poly and mojo2 combo last night with Hifiman Arya headphones. I do use this combo a lot as I probably listen to more music out and about now.
Your presentation and graphics skills make me very jealous. Review is good too as I’m considering buying a poly, selling my mojo then getting mojo 2. I have the mojo six months and have run out of words to describe it. Just last night I listened to John Williams collection & heard things in Jurassic Park theme I didn’t know existed. The price accessibility is impressive & icing on cake that Chord Electronics is “home grown”.
Thanks for the helpful video! If you use the SD card, how to you see your catalog of music? Sorry if I missed that explanation. I own a Mojo2 and still wondering if I'd get more out of the Poly than using the Mojo2 with my iPhone 13 ProMax or iPad Pro serving up the music?
Thanks. I explained how you see the music in the video with the app I mentioned. It really depends on what you use and how you are gonna use the poly as to how much you will get out of it really.
I just received my mojo 2 w/ the poly yesterday. Took a while to figure out how use the poly? They need to make a video that goes over the steps in the manual for the poly. Also, the usb micro to usb chord they supply with the mojo 2 is way to short. If your not streaming wirelessly and you grab your phone to change the music, well your pulling the mojo2 with as well? Is there a specific usb micro to usb chord to buy if we want it a bit longer? How do you stream Amazon music etc using Wi-Fi to the mojo 2? Is there an app for iPhone that houses the major streaming services you can use? Lastly, the sound is terrific. I am an audiophile newbie and you can certainly make out sound differences, the better separation of instruments and clarity is astounding compared to just using the apple dongle, which is not bad by the way.
Not sure what you mean on first questions. You stream via AirPlay to the poly from the iphone . You can use the streaming services apps themselves and set the iPhone to AirPlay and pick up the poly. AirPlay is obviously pretty much cd quality so do it that way rather than Bluetooth
@@13thnotehifireviews7 Thanks so much for your reply. Hope I can be a little more clearer this time. If you are Using the mojo 2 Via the USB to USB be micro directly hooked up to your iPhone, and not using the poly. When you go to pick up your iPhone to let’s say choose another song or an album that you want to listen to it pulls the mojo2 ..the cord is to short. The cord needed to be a little longer. Can you recommend a third-party USB to US micro that can be used?
If you’ve got the poly you don’t really want to be connecting your mojo2 to your phone with a cable in my opinion, just use airplay. Good enough for most content at airplay cd quality. You can use any longer usb to micro usb cable I believe but I wouldn’t use that as you need to use an Apple camera adapter. There is a cable mentioned in the Darko blog post about the mojo2 which you can connect directly to iPhone ie lightning to usb-c , without the need for the camera adapter.
@@13thnotehifireviews7 Okay thank you. I do have some of my albums on apple music that play at 96kHz and 196kHz and they do sound terrific. I have my apple audio quality set to play the best quality if available (Hi Res=192)? But, you are correct airplay does sounds really good. I was listening to my mojo this afternoon and I am simply astounded by how well it delivers the music!
Nice review Simon. I think Poly makes sense for those of us that use Roon or have personally curated local files on an sd card. For anyone else, not so much. I want Roon 😞
Thanks . It makes sense primarily for anyone who wants improved sq over a phone and convenience, also tethering over AirPlay, much less imo a choice of how it will be used- Dlna/roon/airplay 😀
@@13thnotehifireviews7 I’m trying to see this from a value proposition and for me personally, the Poly seems a bit of a stretch. Not having Roon or local flac files to listen to, just streaming, I feel it’s a bit of a downgrade using around my house. At the desk, I can hook it up to something like a Bluesound Node. Leaving the house, Poly makes even less sense. You’ll still need the phone to control it, even if your playing off the SD card because there’s no other interface. But if you already have the phone with you, hooking that up directly to the Mojo and playing Apple Music actually becomes much more convenient, less bulky, and less cumbersome. I hope their next version tackles this impracticality by adding a screen, Play / pause, and track forward / back buttons.
@Silver Joystix I actually have Roon now so I’m still tempted to try it out. For the $ Chord is asking, there’s so much other stuff id like to try out too. 🍻
Very helpful review thanks (though might end up expensive for me!). I hadn't realised the chord poly has an SD card slot. Do you know what the maximum supported SD card storage capacity is? (I have lots of 1411kbps lossless uncompressed music which takes up a lot of space). Does the poly support Apple music? (I'm using an iPhone, an android LG v60 and Astell and Kearn DAP all of which support Apple music). How does audio quality compare to using wired into the mojo 2? (Difficult to answer I know. I've got wireless Edifier spirit s3 headphones and Status Between ANC earbuds. Wired using Sennheiser ie600 iems and Hifiman edition xs headphones).
Simon, what’s the name of the song playing at 1 minute 14 seconds. I love that song and it’s doing my head in trying to remember the name of it 😂 Also great review. I’ve just ordered the mojo2, poly and leather case. Looking forward to testing it all out 😊
Nice review man. Interesting that you heard an improvement using the poly vs usb cable to phone/tablet. How much of an improvement would you say it is?
Thanks again for the video. I have a follow up question. I also have an android phone and I would like to use the Chord Mojo 2 & Poly with that as well. With an Apple phone using the Chord mojo2 and poly, wireless streaming music by default is via Apple airplay 2. I know that airplay gets its information via Wi-Fi, but then bit rate is capped because of airplay transmission. My question is, if you use an android phone is streaming done entirely via wifi? I know that for you CD quality is sufficient but I always try to squeeze out as much bit rate as possible.
I have pretty much all the same conclusion and feelings about Poly - streaming to Poly is a step up from Mojo alone in terms of sound quality, and then another step when using SD card playback. One thing is I wish it had a USB port on the Poly, so I could plug it in and use Mojo as a USB DAC on my computer without having to open the MojoPoly case, separate them, and then connect Mojo. Poly kind of turns Mojo into a wireless-only product. Also I wish they would update the MPD version in the Poly firmware - there's newer versions available that allow the software playing back SD card files to read the album cover art. I haven't used M-Connect with it before, but might give it a try.
How important is input quality to mojo? Ie can you notice poly micro usb input being superior to usb from laptop? And again better with SD play versus streaming? V new to this but learning
@@cannibalholocaust3015 Yes that's how I hear it - when I use Audirvana with my computer and stream to Poly over the network, it sounds better to me than connecting to Mojo via a USB cable. Playing off the SD card also sounds a bit more detailed and 'accurate' than streaming to Poly over the network. So input quality does seem to matter. I haven't tried using any USB devices like Audioquest Jitterbug or iFi micro iUSB, which some people find improves the quality of USB playback. Another option is something like Allo Digione or another cheaper network device instead of Poly, but I haven't experimented with those either.
I am still trying to understand the use case for Poly. I have the mojo 2 coming in and have been trying to make up my mind (Poly IS an expensive device!). if I have to carry my phone everywhere in order to stream something to Poly, I just might as well not use a poly and connect directly to phone (since I already have it on me). What am I missing?
As I explained it’s a convenience thing as you can Roon to it and airplay etc and also convenience of no wires to it. I can use mine at home on my couch and play music from my roon server. Each to their own on how much value etc, but I like mine. It is pricey I get that, but then so is the mojo2.
Thanks for this helpful guide. I just received my Poly/Mojo 2 combo today and was trying to work out if it was possible to stream already downloaded music in the Tidal app to the Poly from an iphone without the need to stream (and hence use data) when out and about. The only way I could find to get this working was to put the Poly into hotspot mode and connect my phone to that network. I can then send the music to the Poly via Airplay without using mobile data (tested by turning mobile data turned off). This works really well, however, if you switch apps or lock the iphone's screen, the streaming stops immediately. Is there a better way of listening to downloaded music from a streaming service via the Poly without obviously using an SD card or resorting to connecting the Mojo directly to the phone?
Thanks too. I use tidal plus iPhone 12 mini and poly / mojo 2 and no issues even with the auto lock feature of the iPhone ie screen goes off after pre determined time. If you switch apps that’s inherent in the iPhone - but locking screen may be you think it’s locking but you are going out of an area with data - no. My advice would be download the songs to sd card or stop internet surfing. Music is to be enjoyed without outside ‘noise’. No?
@@13thnotehifireviews7 I usually use the Audeze LCD-X. And since I have home a Stax system, I also bought the portable Stax energizer which is barely bigger than the Mojo2/Poly kit. I take to my workplace time to time the Stax L700MKII Earspeakers

As someone who upgraded from RED to Mojo 2, the difference between both is bigger than the difference between 10USD apple lightning dongle and RED. IT is THAT good!
Hey Simon, my wife and I often wondered if your hair was real or not and now we know 🤣 A very informative review of this little gem of a product. It's not something that I would use personally but I can see many using such a device. I love Chord products and own a 2Qute DAC but want to upgrade to the TT 2 some day. Hope all is good with you pal and keep up the excellent work 🙂
I keep trying to understand why in the world this costs so much or why anyone would buy it. Why not just add Bluetooth and ditch those aging connectors making it the best in class bar none?
@13th Note HiFi Reviews Nice video Simon. I finally got a Chord Mojo (no 2, the first one) just this week, and I am evaluating it ;) The Poly is a device that allways catched my attention and I have an important question to you. I usually use Plex as a server for my music. Is it possible to use Plex with the Poly?, I mean, is it possible to send the music from Plex to the Poly as easily as you can do sending the music to a Chromecast, or something different is needed? Thank you for your videos, I like them
Thanks, not sure about that but if you can move music to the phone / tablet with plex over some sort of online server database I understand it is then if you are using an iPhone you could AirPlay to the poly
Ps. I think we will see dsp on other DACs they make so Qutest 2 etc, as it makes sense for them to add that and also so nobody can really be critical about not liking tonal voicing of DACs.
I found for the tethering issue 6:00 with my iphone12 pro that I had to go to Cellular Data Options under the Cellular Setting, then Voice & Data and switch to LTE, i.e., switch off any 5G options. After that all the same as in the video except the wifi symbol for me showed up as LTE, not 4G but seems to be the same thing. Now it works great!

Thank you , I didn’t receive any money from chord, never have - in fact I bought both the poly and mojo2 myself.
Thanks again! Which usb c to usb c cable would you recommend when connecting to a desktop? Audio quest etc?
Any will do
Maybe they put the cheesy stickers on the back so you'll have to buy the expensive leather case to cover them.
That leather case is gorgeous so I can’t say I’d mind that.
I can’t ever find my phones hotspot on the go figure app. It doesn’t show and I’m doing everything you did in the video during the tethering

@13th Note HiFi Reviews Nice video Simon. I finally got a Chord Mojo (no 2, the first one) just this week, and I am evaluating it ;)
The Poly is a device that allways catched my attention and I have an important question to you.
I usually use Plex as a server for my music. Is it possible to use Plex with the Poly?, I mean, is it possible to send the music from Plex to the Poly as easily as you can do sending the music to a Chromecast, or something different is needed?
Thank you for your videos, I like them
Thanks, not sure about that but if you can move music to the phone / tablet with plex over some sort of online server database I understand it is then if you are using an iPhone you could AirPlay to the poly
Any chance we will see a Poly 2 sometime soon?
I don't think we'd need one? to be fair. A good streamer is a good streamer. :)
Ps. I think we will see dsp on other DACs they make so Qutest 2 etc, as it makes sense for them to add that and also so nobody can really be critical about not liking tonal voicing of DACs.
