### 1/5 — Garbage for Tidal Hi-Res

*2026-02-23, version 8.30.12*

Like others have said, this simply does not work consistently. I can use the mConnectHD app with Tidal and play Hi-Res, some bugs, but nowhere near as bad as this.

Will anyone ever fix this? Anyone giving this more than a one star rating is clearly not using for Tidal Hi-Res.

### 3/5 — Refuses to stay connected

*2025-12-15, version 8.30.12*

I bought the onkyo TXL-20D amplifier and downloaded this application to be able to access some functions, however, I have noticed that the app loses connection with my amplifier. I have noticed, also, that the developer is no longer updating the software.

### 5/5 — Super zufrieden mit meinem neuen Onkyo Receiver!

*2025-10-14, version 8.30.12*

Seit zwei Wochen bin ich jetzt im besitz des 
Tx-RZ50 Receivers dabei entdecke ich nach und nach die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die er mir bietet. Ich würde dieses Gerät sofort wieder kaufen!!!

### 2/5 — 微妙なところで、使いづらい

*2025-03-25, version 8.30.12*

100曲以上あるアルバムコンテンツが100曲目以降は再生できません
改善よろしくお願いします

### 1/5 — Stops after 4 seconds

*2025-01-26, version 8.30.12*

Music stops playing after 4 seconds into a song. Looks like this app is not supported since other users have reported same issue…

### 1/5 — Worked until latest update.

*2024-08-17, version 8.30.12*

Worked until latest update. The app stops at 4 seconds and music never play on my Onkyo receiver. This is exactly what happened last year with the main playfi app when it updated bricked it. Need to tell everyone to just download the original dtsplayfi app. It gets the updates to work, this does not. Really should just take this app off if you’re not going to support it.

### 2/5 — Please Fix Bugs

*2024-01-26, version 8.30.12*

Can’t go more than 2 songs without things freezing.

### 2/5 — Good when it works

*2023-07-28, version 8.30.12*

This will echo many of the reviews for this app, in that it frequently loses the connection to my receiver.  These dropouts cause my receiver to act strangely and even lock up, requiring me to go through the hassle of performing a hard reset.  I will probably delete the app as I can accomplish the majority of what this app can do utilizing AirPlay or chromeCast.

### 2/5 — アップデートでバグ？

*2023-06-17, version 8.30.12*

先に書かれていますがTX8390にて1曲で停止するバグ発生していますので現状使いものになりません。

### 1/5 — Worked until latest update.

*2023-06-10*

Worked until latest update. The app stops at 4 seconds and music never play on my Onkyo receiver. This is exactly what happened last year with the main playfi app when it updated bricked it.
