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. Connect and control devices across your home Wi-Fi network with LYNQ. Extend connectivity across cellular data and different Wi-Fi networks with the LYNQ+ subscription. 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.

What they did Apple was unable to do. Not only do I now have a working remote for Apple Music but the music sounds better! The interface is very similar to Apple Music so there is very little learning curve. Lysonic works from my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. Same music plays so it is seamless going from one interface to the other. There are still bugs to work out, some lag, some tracks that will not play but this is a small sacrifice. Apple’s Remote was tragic and getting worse with every system update. So glad to have Lysonic. ### 5/5 — PEQ *2026-07-12* Lets go PEQ!!! The only thing that can be perfect! ### 5/5 — 최고 입니다. *2026-06-22* 애플 뮤직을 이용하면서 외부 DAC와 완벽하게 연결하고 제어할수 있는 유일한 방법이 아닐까합니다. 개인적으로 계속 업데이트 되기를 기대하고 애플 뮤직 중에서도 클래식을 별도로 연결할수 있었으면 합니다. ### 5/5 — Roon Killer for Apple Music *2026-06-19* If you use Apple Music for High Res this is the best solution available. RIP Roon. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-06* This app is superb. Enables me to play lossless from Apple music to my streamer/Dac via USB . Controlling my iPad from my iPhone, from my listening position making it a perfect solution for me. A highly recommended app, thanks ### 5/5 — Am Ende eines langen Weges *2026-06-05* Lange habe ich versucht Apple Music komplett mit einer Fernbedienung zu steuern. Der Mac hängt am DAC - steht aber nicht am Hörplatz. Alles war nur zusätzlicher Verkabelung möglich. iPhone oder iPad per Toslink am DAC oder nur Steuerung meiner Bibliothek. Das ist nun Geschichte, da die Steuerung mit Lysonic sehr gut funktioniert. Das entweder bei Apple Music auf dem Mac oder ein (älteres) iPad direkt auch am DAC. Bitte die APP pflegen und weiterentwickeln - auch, wenn das mal € kostet. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-01* Love this app for remote access to iTunes on an iPad used for Hi Res streaming. Good UX / UI which has improved over time. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Apple Musicのリモコンと同期 *2026-05-30* Apple MusicをすべてのiPhone/iPadで同期でき、遠隔のiPad/iPhoneをコントロールできるので、DAC直結してあるiPadの Apple Musicを完璧にコントロールできます。とてもすばらしい。 ### 5/5 — A Brilliant App *2026-05-29* Not only does this app allow remote control functions it provides High Res playback from an iPhone or IPad with a dongle for USB into a DAC. But it’s UI is also a great improvement on Apple Music all for under a tenner. Buy it now it’s worth twice the price ### 5/5 — Apple Musicのリモコンと同期 *2026-05-24* Apple MusicをすべてのiPhone/iPadで同期でき、遠隔のiPad/iPhoneをコントロールできるので、DAC直結してあるiPadの Apple Musicを完璧にコントロールできます。とてもすばらしい。 ## Frequently asked questions about Lysoniq ### What does Lysoniq do?
