"The Chord Poly is now fully Roon-ready certified and Poly's DLNA capabilities have also improved to include integration of popular streaming services including Tidal and Qobuz, Internet Radio support, a DSD rendering update, plus gapless playback support (where supported by the Client App). A new WiFi driver brings improved performance and flexibility and is faster over 2.4GHz networks, plus Bluetooth has also been improved offering better co-existence with WiFi. The update also includes Id3tag support, MP3 indexing support and a general update to MPD. The configuration switch has also been improved and enables a number of important usage improvements, including: switching between Hotspot and Network Mode; access to Hotspot password reset; Bluetooth PIN code reset and factory reset functions, plus manual firmware update, (all by holding the Configuration Switch for 20 seconds); options are audible (spoken) with each switch-press. Further benefits include Tidal and Qobuz credentials entry, a Wizard update with improved Hotspot/WiFi switching capabilities, plus a Firmware Update methodology change: after the Poly 2 firmware (V2.0.0) has been installed (along with the new Apps) users will be prompted when new Firmware is available, enabling a choice of install timing."
