* It is the only application capable of sending audio data to the network renderers (UPnP/DLNA, Chromecast) with all DSP effects applied, including the gapless playback.

* It features a unique PCM to DSD real-time oversampling mode (if supported by DAC), so you can play your favorite music in DSD resolution.

Outdated UI and not user friendly

If you just want DSD DoP with your DAC, use FiiOMusic, it’s free and uses native GUI components.

This software probably used some cross platform GUI SDK to maintain its look and feel, but it’s awkward to use, not benefiting with any native controls, e.g., swipes.

The UI also looks dated. It doesn’t mean it has a retro look, because I can’t see proper designs, e.g., Winamp has a classic UI but it functions well, this one is not.

Some may say it’s powerful and for savvy users. Well, you should see Poweramp, that one is powerful and for savvy users.

Apart from the insufficient UI, some functions don’t work. The only reason why I bought this software is for the SMB connection, it doesn’t work.

Well, things I like about this software. It scans through the DLNA and builds a DB, it’s better than the other apps I have tried. The DSD playback was smooth, I didn’t have any issues.

Conclusion, the software works but I don’t the experience.

Must have for serious music fans!

This app is incredible. I love it so much. The range of options is breathtaking. The way it makes your music sound, even more so. Just by utilising only a few of the basic options your music will sound incredible if you play high res files. Take time to get to know the app and you will not regret it. I’ve tried many high res players and this one leaves them all for dust. It’s a professional app for serious music listeners. I can even stream music from my Mac to the app on my iPhone via Plex. Enough said. Just get it. Worth every penny I paid for it. Kudos to the developer also. Your hard work and expertise are much appreciated. Meshuggah have never sounded so good!

Nice app. But has bugs.

The app is good ,and I like it a lot. It’s a 5 star app. But bugs keep getting added with updates, and others don’t get noticed and fixed. I’ve found 4 so far. Mostly GUI issues, but someone should be bug- testing the app, before the update is released.

Since my reviews for this app keep getting deleted for no obvious reason, I’m only going to describe 1 issue. A long review would be a waste of my life.

Some theme colours cannot be changed. Most obviously, the LED on the Gain slider and the centre-line for the EQ sliders. They are stuck on green, with no obvious setting to adjust that.

I’ve made a few themes now, and they look a bit stupid with the unchangeable colours.

I’ll update this review, if an update fixes the issue. Maybe I’ll also describe the other bugs, if my review doesn’t get deleted. Again!!!

Developer Response ,

The reviews are never deleted by the developer, maybe Apple may remove them automatically somehow. Gain slider's color is not changeable to enforce behavior that Green color corresponds to a hw gain of the device, otherwise it can be mixed with Preamp gain slider if the same color is set for both. Will consider making it changeable though.
