Chord Mojo + Chord Poly Wireless Playback

I was looking to see if any Chord Mojo + Poly owners could inform me if a specific payback method is possible on the Chord Mojo and Poly.

Could you have all your music inserted into the Poly, which is connected to the Mojo, via micro SD and playback music wirelessly while the poly is also connected to your phone, using a DLNA player app?

Essentially, could you get a high-quality audio playback by, not having to use a sub-par Bluetooth codec without having to use wifi or a mobile hotspot?

I mean all the music would be in the poly already and your phone could just connect to the poly via Bluetooth just so that you can navigate your playlists/albums.

Edit: So essentially, does both the Chord Poly and your phone have to be connected to the same WiFi point/hotspot to enable wireless and lossless playback?

Edit #2: According to a written review I found, if you connect to the Poly with your smartphone, with the Poly being listed as a WiFi Network, you can play music off the internal SD card you have inserted. Making the device a pseudo-DAP without a screen. The screen is your smartphone.

If you have any luck/experience doing this, if it is possible, please say.

Also, I was wondering if the organic and warm tonality of the mojo was a good fit for something like the Ether C Flow 1.1s.

Thank You!

Haven’t heard the combo, but I had the Ether CX and the main thing is be concerned about with the Mojo is if it has enough current. Ethers need a fair bit of current and like higher volumes to really open up. Warmth of the amp wouldn’t be anything I’d worry about as long as it’s a match for your preferences.

Sorry…can’t add anything on the Poly since I’ve never used one.

Thank you very much for the response. I decided I would go with an M11 Pro or an M11 Plus and then add a dedicated AMP after. That is correct. The CX did require a bit of current, which I don’t think the mojo would have supplied. I actually don’t own a pair of CXs anymore.
