scylla is a new Hi-Res audio player app featuring “Easy”, “A Lot”, and “Comfortable”. “Easy” Already there are a lot of good audio player apps, but they are a little difficult and complex. scylla was developed with a focus on being simple. Of course controllable from CarPlay and Apple Watch. If you want, scylla tells the artist name and title of the now-playing song. “A Lot" Additional to your music library, you can import your songs from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, … Also FLAC *1, DSD *1, and OggVorbis is supported. All songs can be chosen from one screen simply. The playlist does not depend on the type of songs. “Comfortable” 10 bands EQ (Equalizer) is available for your preference. You can also add a Reverb *3 to feel the atmosphere of a concert or live house. When you'd like to concentrate, connect to USB DAC / portable amp for awesome sound quality. DoP (DSD over PCM) feature brings the world's best sound. *2 *1 Playback FLAC / DSD song feature is In-App Purchase option *2 DoP playback feature is In-App Purchase option *3 Reverb feature is In-App Purchase option

Where’s the eq??

Some reviewers mention the eq, but it’s nowhere to be found. Some songs sound great, others are way too bass heavy and boomy. I need the ability to adjust the eq according to my tastes. Also needs a progress bar for the music so you can skip to a certain section of the music. App would easily get 5 stars if it had a user adjustable eq and a progress bar.UPDATE: Well I found the EQ and the progress bar because I happened to tap right next to the play controls. Not the most intuitive or easy to spot placement, but OK. I know I said I’d give the app 5 stars if it had these features, but after using it a bit more, I’m giving it 4 stars because 1) the EQ could use more frequency bars to play with, or better yet, a graph that lets you adjust any frequency you want, like on the Onkyo player, which gives the Onkyo more clarity to my ears, and 2) this player puts a pause between songs that are supposed to run together but are listed as separate tracks, which is very annoying. The Onkyo doesn’t do this. All in all, though, a darn good app. The above issues shouldn’t be too hard to correct, which would make this a 5 star app.

Very nice simple app with correctly working equalizer (pretty rare). Carplay support is plus too. One request - is it possible to make changes that will allow to continue playback when open previously closed app or at least save the current playback properties (i.e. random/shuffle) to the “Recently played” list?

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with this app! It’s ability to decode dsf files Is a bonus! And the eq does an excellent job as well as the pre amp gain adjustment. So much to like about this-way better than the onkyo hr the player and this one costs less!!! Well done!

Two things are keeping me from using this app. First, it needs the ability to work with flac files contained in folders. I need to be able to input folders, up to three folders deep, which contain my flac files, in order to keep the files/songs organized. Otherwise, I have a big mess of unorganized songs. It also needs to keep multi-disc albums grouped together, instead of as separate albums. I will raise my rating if these things are fixed.
