What's New in Waxwing Remote

1.0.13

April 19, 2026

New Waxwing 1.04 Firmware - Go to the Settings gear icon to update your Waxwing. - Improved digital output with S/PDIF channel status support. Any DAC or streamer should now properly display the 24/48 or 24/96 output and bitrate - Fixes iPad app bug with disappearing popups from settings, language and connection window area. This bug showed up with iOS 26.1 update. - Magic has been revved to version 2.0 (internally speaking). It is a little better discriminating and smoother with less distortion. This smoother part may make the Waxwing a bit better behaved with some external DACs. Just a step or two forward. My planned Magic work in 2026 will probably be much more of a leap forward. - Super Mono has been revved to version 2.0 (also internally speaking). I've made a major improvement on how the sections of audio (summed, left, or right) are blended together. Basically, it has less distortion and is clearer, especially on louder segments. - Added alternate Fine Balance control interface in Mono and Super Mono functions. During a moderate loudness monaural music passage (not silence or quiet passage), a Balance icon press will determine the optimal channel balance and set it after about 1 second. The icon turns red, letting you know the balancing is occurring. Fine Balance can be reset to +0.0dB by clicking the display text. Note: this balancing helps Mono and Super Mono have optimum performance. - Changed Grade's grading scale. 'F' has been replaced by: F+, F, F-, and P. P is for Poor. This just gives a bit more room for rating. - Added Firmware downgrade feature. Press and hold the gray "Update to Firmware version 1.0x" for ten seconds or until the popup changes. Perfect for beta testers to hop back and forth for comparisons. Also useful in case a version has a breaking bug. Note: Bluetooth firmware has had this same behavior. - Hi (High-cut filter): added 3kHz, 4kHz, and 6kHz. Removed the lowest three (experimental) values of 5Hz, 10Hz, and 15Hz. Should be useful for the 78 RPM folks. App 1.0.13 Changes: - New logo splash screen pop up on app load. It was a white screen while the language file gets loaded at startup. - Added confirmation to "Reset to Default" buttons (in Settings gear menu) added in 1.0.12 to prevent accidental resets. Note that this reset is equivalent to loading the 'MM 38dB' preset. Just wanted something easier for new users that got into trouble. - Fixed app Mute button/icon behavior. A 'Mute is ON' state would be reset to 'Mute is OFF' when the app was closed and reopened. - Edited German language option. - Added Korean language option. - Added more description on cart threshold adjustment slider in Log.

Great app

A great app for an amazing phono preamp.

Nice functional app

This app works fast and connects quickly for me. My one tiny gripe, is that when you tap the top of the screen it doesn’t automatically page up like many other apps. That would make it nice to hit mute. Or maybe have a floating mute so that it’s available no matter where you are in the menus.

That would also be nice as a widget or something that shows up on the Lock Screen.

Waxwing remote

Why can’t more software be like this? Everything is discoverable and clearly marked. Every single option has a description of what it does. Nothing is hidden. It is fantastic!

The best part is that you don’t even need to pair it. No WiFi or Bluetooth pairing mode to engage and successfully navigate. Just start the app near a Waxwing and it works!

Easy-to-use app for a great product

The app is the perfect companion for the excellent Waxwing phono preamp. It connected instantly on startup and maintains a reliable connection to the device. It provides easy, intuitive control of the many signal processing features baked into the device, including active click and pop removal during playback, bass management, rumble filtering, choice of mono modes as well as stereo, turntable speed checker, record condition grading, and provides a cumulative total playing time. I’ve been collecting vinyl for decades and now it is sounding better than ever.
