Awesome Tool
A great app to enjoy Hi-Res Lossless audio from Apple Music and be able to remotely control and view the media without losing any bitrate. Lysoniq interfsce isn't as perfect and smooth as it is browsing and navigating Apple Music but it's really close to being so. Prior to iOS27 getting bit-perfect playback from AppleTV 4K wasn't possible thru HDMI, until I found this great work around.
Now with TvOS27 Apple opened the capabilities of HDMI 2.1 and allows streaming at up to 192.

A Brilliant App
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
Finally the convenience of AirPlay Bit-perfect!
I’m no longer using airplay! Does it actually sound better? I am no longer using airplay, but i guess it depends on whats limiting your system. Tested on Cambridge Edge NQ with Focal Aria 936 and yes, it’s an improvement.
I wish it works.
I connected the app on both my iPhone and MacBook Air M2. The MacBook Air is connected to a Topping E70 Velvet DAC, which then goes to my preamp and amplifier.
The first problem was that the app could connect to both devices, but there was no sound coming from the DAC. I went through all the settings, checked the cables, and did several A/B comparisons. Interestingly, it sometimes worked when the DAC was disconnected from the MacBook.
I then tested it without the DAC and used the MacBook's internal speakers instead. A new problem appeared: the app would load a new song, but it wouldn't buffer or play. The playback time would move from 0:00 to 0:01 and then immediately return to 0:00.
I've spent about three hours troubleshooting this, checking everything I can think of. At this point, I'm giving up. Unfortunately, the app simply isn't working reliably for me.

Response from developer
Hi, the Lysoniq Mac Remote routes commands to the Music app on macOS. Is the Music app launched and playing? Please email info@lysoniq.app for direct help and support for your setup.
Does exactly what it should.
The solution.

Love it!
I’ve been using iTunes remote app to enjoy music on the deck using Zone 2 on my receiver for about 14 years. It’s glitchy sometimes, and of course Airplay limits fidelity. An old iPad connected to my DAC and this app solves these problems elegantly.
Amazing app
Can’t live without it
Most Awaited Amazing App
This was need for years for Apple Music users like me … I spent hundreds of dollars for streaming devices still did not get Apple Music as great as this .. no streamer needed now simple connect iPad and use iPhone for playback… too good !!! Thanks
Works a treat
Does everything it says on the tin and does it really well. I use it every day.
Nearly Perfect
Does exactly what it says it does. Perfect solution for getting Apple Music lossless to my speakers while enjoying a nice presentation on the Apple TV and controlling it from there. However I’m deducting a star because I can’t scrub through a track if I’m controlling the app via Apple TV. I also would like to see native lyric support on the tvOS app as well that tracks as the song plays. Those two updates would make this app truly 5 stars. BetterBetter background gradients that better track with the colors in the album artwork would also be nice to see.

Fast, stable bit perfect playback.
Works brilliantly. I had concerns about it's stability and responsiveness but they were completely unfounded. Whichever device is set as the streamer responds instantly to the control inputs from other devices. So far has proved very stable without random crashes and disconnects. The sound quality, the reason for using it is exactly as you would hope. Bit perfect output to your system's dac giving audiophile quality. Very highly recommended.

Am Ende eines langen Weges
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.

Great features and performance!
The Apple TV control of iPad is a welcome feature. The accessibility of bit rate is a nice touch for those of us with an external DAC that offers no such information. Thank you! 🎵
Endlich fast „Apple Music Connect“ (Gibt es nicht wirklich 😉)
Ich betreibe Apple Music vom Mac an einen externen DAC. Immer von der Couch zum MAC oder Kabelverbindung iPhone/iPad zum DAC. Nun endlich eine echte Fernsteuerung für Apple Music ohne Kabel. Fast könnte man sagen „Apple Music Connect“ - echt super und ein Gamechanger. Nun ist der Umstieg auf einen anderen Streamingdienst erst mal vom Tisch. Danke für die Entwicklung und macht weiter.

Cheap but brilliant streaming solution
For under $70 — Lysoniq app plus USB cable to connect my existing iPad to an old Arcam DAC and analog pre-amp — I now effectively have a bit-perfect streamer for pennies. It sounds fantastic. Although, it could be even better with digital volume control through my (linked) iPhone.
Love it love it!
I love this app. I’ve always felt that if you’re an Apple Music listener, this app is perfect for you stream your own music through your iPad. iPhone Mac cannot go wrong here. The only con I have is that I wish that it had an EQ built.
A Godsend for Audiophiles and the Lazy
My set up comprises an iPad streaming hi-res lossless Apple Music via USBC into an SMSL PO100 Pro, with the SMSL feeding via TosLink into the optical input of a WiiM Pro. The WiiM, in turn, feeds into a Parasound Zamp v3. All very lovely. However, not exactly great on the convenience front. With the iPad being physically tethered, I’ve had to tear my bum from the sofa every time I wanted to navigate my music library.
What to do? Swap out the WiiM for a far more expensive native Apple alternative (Eversolo, FiiO)? Not very attractive from a financial viewpoint. Satisfy myself with simple track forward/track back, play, pause using the Accessibility Control on my iPhone? Hardly the level of control I want. Swap over from Apple Music and adopt an entirely different music provider? A bit of a leap, especially as the download on other services isn’t especially well regarded and I want to retain the ability to connect via blu tooth in my car. Forego the lossless and stream direct to the WiiM via AirPlay? NO. THANK. YOU.
And then, by chance, I came across the Lysoniq app. The answer to all my prayers. I can retain my Apple Music. I can retain the downloads on my iPhone for car use. I can continue to take advantage of full hi res lossless streaming. My iPad is still tethered to the WiiM but now I can control what music is streamed, view my full library, playlists etc., pause, play, everything I need, all with my iPhone from the comfort of my sofa. The Lysoniq App closely resembles Apple Music so navigation is easy, and all for the princely sum of £14.99 (for installation on both devices). Bravo!!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

实现了iPhone控制iPad上音乐的播放
iPhone作为控制端控制iPad上的播放，从iPad上可以全码率输出到DA转换器，非常棒！
Apple Music Audiophile Rejoice!
I will echo what’s been said in prior reviews. This solves a real problem for those of us who use Apple Music, but also have quality DACs that we want to feed the best possible data. What this does is allow me to use an old iPhone as my streamer delivering bit-perfect data from Apple Music) and control it from another iPhone, or an iPad, or for me, the AppleTV. And the interface is impeccable. I can do everything in Lysoniq that I routinely do in Apple Music, especially listening to the playlists that Apple creates for me based on my listening. It looks great, it sounds great, it solves a real problem and it’s way more affordable than purchasing an external streamer. For context, I purchased an EverSolo T8. I wanted to love it. It did sound good. But the support for Apple Music was so poor I returned it. The integration between the T8 hardware and the remote control software was so lame, I sent it back. Tim Fagan is the Donald Fagan of app development. Could not be happier (and PS, I never write App Store reviews). Bravo Tim, and thank you.
