Very Good! Close to Excellent – Onkyo HF Player - Hi-Res Music Review

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.
