CHORD ELECTRONICS POLY GOFIGURE APP FOR ANDROID IS HERE
Chord Electronics has launched the Android version of Gofigure, its configuration App for the excellent Poly music streamer.
The moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived. This is the official configuration app for the network music streamer/player dubbed Poly that hands wireless skills to with the award-winning Mojo DAC/headphone amp.
Gofigure is an intuitive app originally released for iOS that provides easy network set-up and simple settings management via a slick interface. Additionally, the app offers effortless navigation through Poly's main configuration options and features an easy-to-use software wizard.
Designed throughout 2018 to complement third-party control-point apps commonly used to control music playback through Poly and Mojo, Gofigure simplifies many of Poly's advanced processes.
The wizard negates the need for the fiddly configuration pin. Also, configuring new and existing Polys to available Wi-Fi networks becomes much easier, quickly enabling the device(s) for music playback. The wizard also facilitates direct Bluetooth set-up and playback as well as a step-by-step configuration using Hotspot Mode.
Furthermore, the new app supports QuickPlay, enabling playback of MPD-generated playlists on Micro SD cards via Poly's built-in card reader. Any number of playlists can be created, including the entire card. Naturally, all the playlists become visible within the app.
The Settings user interface offers wide-ranging control over many of Poly's main configuration options using simple slider switches and drop-down menus. Intuitive on/off controls for WiFi/Bluetooth and Hotspot Modes makes for effortless and uninterrupted transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments. Available and connected network displays make it easy to manage and update connections, too.
Also, simple Roon operation comes as part of the new package, making Poly a Roon endpoint. Again, slider switches offer easy on/off toggling for Roon-Ready and Roon DSD modes. Easy switching for alternative play modes and QuickPlay control activation is also available from the main Settings screen.
Gofigure is free and available now for both iOS and Android devices.
You will require Android version 7.0 and above, and the latest Poly firmware is always recommended.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
