### 4/5 — Glitchy, but it works

*2025-12-22*

I use this app for the Elac Navis speakers. After I downloaded the app, it recognized the discovery streamer, but it would not open and allow me to access the streamer settings menu. After several attempts it did open and I had to change settings to allow the streamer to connect/pair wirelessly to the Navis speakers. Quite frustrating at first, but it did work. Sound is good. Tried the coaxial out to my Oppo player, thinking the internal dac of the Oppo and XLR connect would sound better, but there is noticeable static. Not sure why. The Bluesound Node Icon might be a better choice for some people, but then you have to use XLR or RCA to connect to the speakers. Overall I’m satisfied with the performance minus the initial glitchy setup.

### 1/5 — Embarrassing.

*2024-06-28*

The app had no update/followup for years, knowing it was ultra buggy and unusable from the start. Problem is, Elac is selling hardware way more expensive than the competition, with a mandatory app as a controller, who does not work at all. The legal term for this, is scam.

### 1/5 — Malware

*2022-01-23*

Renders your device unusable and Elac support can’t help. Unable. All for the trash
