Works great

Using it with JRiver Media Player as the DLNA renderer playing music from my network server and Tidal.
Easy to set up and use and it even shows the sample rate and bit depth as the music is played.

Could be improved

I liked the functionality and purchased the full version for iOS and Android. However, the interface could be improved to be more like the Wiim app or Jplay β€” more intuitive with radio support.

Very Good - A Few Rough Edges

Good;
It can find an Arcam SA30 on the network as well as a B&O speaker.
It streams high res Tidal to an Arcam from its own app.
The native Tidal app is better than the one in the Arcam app and does high res FLAC which the Arcam doesn’t.
You can control volume through the app.
Bad;
A touch slower than some renderers but not much.
It only does landscape. Really, it should cope with portrait and landscape.
Internet Radio seems to be absent. I don’t know if this is user error but I can’t find anything.

This very close to being a full 5*. The absence of Radio is a big issue.

New issue

Was a great player and still is mostly. But a recent update (can’t remember when it started) has caused a new problem. After playing an album all the way through, the very last track is cut short but a few seconds, spoiling the end of the whole thing.

Good but….

Using mconnect to send music via UPNP to my streamer as its hands down the best qaulity for high res audio on Qobus. HOWEVER it consistently turns the volume back down when i turn it up via all methods in small steps. I have no idea why its doing that and its extremely annoying.
