Can’t figure out how to shuffle a playlist
Gp123456zxc
The sound from this app is amazing and transfer from itunes was a breeze Interface is s bit clunky but you get used to it Major down side is for the life of me I cannot figure out how to shuffle a playlist ; if that were possible this would be a ‘5’
Almost perfect

This app is almost perfect. But it needs to separate various artists into one folder like all other apps do. I love the equalizer! Also iPhone X support would be great too!
Great when it works

Unstable in ios 11+, often requiring a reboot of iPhone X. The eq is unparalleled but difficult to use as the size of even the zoomed-in landscape view is small compared with one’s finger when trying to set an eq point. It would be a great improvement to allow direct text input of frequency and db offset, either on the ios device and/or import an eq text file. Album view in playlists would be a great help, allowing easy retrieval of whole albums when one has created a playlist in iTunes with just hi-res audio files. That being said, the sound quality is great.
Add support for iPad and more earphones

The UI of current version for iPad is terrible, was wondering if you can fit iPad large screen for better file management and operations. Also, only Apple and your earphones are supported, is it possible to add more, such as Sony? Thanks!
Very Good! Close to Excellent

Currently using this app to output Hi Res & regular music bought from Apple through an iPhone X to my Sony RSX GS9 Car Receiver. Sound quality has been excellent,The Sony unit require decent amount of tuning and time alignmentfor it to sounds it’s best. Most times when I first enter my vehicle, the upsampling feature doesn’t always lock on to the maximum upsampling rate of DSD 5.6MHZ, sometimes I have to close the app and reopen it for it to detect the maximum upsampling rate. An anoying issue has also developed in the newly release version of the app, where if I am sitting and listing to music in the car and I close the app to send it in the back ground so I can type a text message while listening, that typing would completely stop the music with each key press, so that means no typing and listening at the same time. Also I started buying and downloading music from the Onkyo website, to future-proof the music I buy, I buy the version with MQA, when available, with the hopes that Onkyo will add that feature to the app very soon, so we we can take advantage of higher quality sound.
FEATURE REQUEST

This app made my Bluetooth headphones usable for music. The EQ customization is awesome. I just with I could ADJUST OVERALL GAIN of the audio signal. Even at the lowest volume, it’s too loud on my headphones. I know I can push the entire EQ curve down to reduce overall volume, but the curve is already bottomed out and I still need lower gain.
Will Do Until Official Apple Support

Onkyo works well if one has audio files not (yet?) supported by Apple. It handles everything I’ve thrown at it (mostly FLAC, which Apple does not support and likely won’t) I was loving VOX, still do, but I do not like “subscriptions;” a model they have adopted for many essential features. I would rather follow the Onkyo model, which is pay once to access “High Definition” encodings. There are some things about Onkyo that bother me, but it is the dark UI design and my inability to see its on-screen widgets without my glasses. But that’s my problem so I won’t ding the app. Good enough to call good stuff. Enjoy the show.
Excellent app!

Excellent sound quality. Bought the HD Player pack as well for my hi res FLAC files. I now use an AudioQuest Dragonfly Red USB DAC instead of the headphone jack. Sounds much better that way. The app’s real-time DSD conversion feature is great for even better sound. My CD rips loaded onto the phone through iTunes are there automatically and sound great. Easy to drag my FLAC files through iTunes into the app. The DAC lights up with the right colors so I know the app is sending the right sample rates. Album artwork is large and unobstructed and the black background is nice. The only glitch is sometimes the sound cuts out for a second when playing the FLAC hi-res files. I believe others have said this is an iPhone issue and not an issue with the app. Just an FYI: If you rip your CD’s, make sure to do lossless 44.1/16 rips if you want the best sound. I used the AIFF format. Initially I had ripped to 48/24 FLAC for my computer then converted to AIFF 48/24 for my phone. Some say 48/24 is somehow better, some say no difference except you take up more space, and others say you introduce undesired results with the sound quality. I can tell you that the last two are absolutely true, so stick to 44.1/16 for that CD collection.
