Lysoniq is a premium music player/streamer with cross-device remote control. Install it on your Apple devices to seamlessly play music through any one of them and control the app with the others.
Unlike AirPlay, the playing device streams directly from Apple Music at full resolution — enabling Hi-Res Lossless with zero compression or downsampling on compatible devices. Using an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV in your hifi system just became easier. No more extension cables or compromises.
Built to handle huge libraries — load thousands of songs into the player without slowdown. Full queue management with swipe to delete, drag to rearrange, tap to skip ahead, and insert into the queue. True Shuffle that actually randomizes your music.
Browse the full Apple Music catalog with top songs, albums, and playlists across 30+ cities and countries, 17 genres, and dedicated Hi-Res Lossless and Dolby Atmos sections. Access Made For You, Recently Played, New Releases, live radio stations, and all of Apple Music's personalized recommendations. Your full synced library with sorting and filtering included.
Built-in Last.fm scrobbling with full history and stats. Four themes including Light, Dark, True Light, and True Dark.
Built from the ground up with audiophiles in mind. Reviewing audio gear? Use a subloop to focus in on a particular section of a track, with the option to add a timer between loops to switch equipment. Automatic sample rate switching on macOS — the system output adjusts to match each track's native resolution, so nothing gets resampled (up to 24-bit/96kHz). Output up to 24-bit/192kHz on iOS, 24-bit/96kHz on macOS, and 24-bit/48kHz on Apple TV.
Now available in 20 languages including Chinese (Hong Kong, Simplified, and Traditional), Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

I’ve recently gotten into hi-fi audio, building out my system (speakers, amps, etc.) and the only thing missing was a way to stream hi-res/lossless music. Since AirPlay is lossy and having to get up every time I wanted to change the song on my iPad Pro connected to my DAC was starting to get annoying, I got a Tidal subscription and bought a WiiM Pro. This combination works great but it means I have to have a new music subscription on top on top of my existing Apple Music subscription, and it’s awkward trying to sync my two libraries for music. Then I came across this app and it’s exactly what I was looking for! I have my iPad Apple Music settings set to Hi-Res Lossless, have it connected via usb to my DAC and I can control it directly from any of my other Apple devices, no matter where I am in my house. In terms of looks, it’s honestly very close to the native Apple Music app. Still some things that can be refined but it’s 100% usable. Functionally, it’s basically all there too. Would definitely recommend if you’re also in the same (maybe niche) boat as I was! I still have my Tidal/WiiM setup right now but this app may push me to cancel/sell those.

Thank you for the review! I'm very happy so many hi-fi enthusiasts are using and enjoying Lysoniq. I just wanted to mention there were many UI updates included in the latest v1.2.0, when you get the chance please give it a go. :)
Bit perfect streamer for Mac!!!

Worth every penny! For those on the Apple ecosystem who were struggling with 2 things… Controlling other devices music playback and controlling MIDI auto setup upstream to have a bit perfect stream on MacOS. Finally someone took extra care of that!
Should be part of iOS
