mconnect Player

I bought this to stream music from Tidal to my Hegel H190 amplifier at full res. Works perfectly!

What a brilliant app! Since I bought my Naim Uniti Atom, 5 months ago, I’ve been unable to stream 24-bit audio to it from Tidal. This is due to the fact neither the Naim nor Tidal apps facilitate this. Both limit streaming to 16-bit / 44.1khz i.e. CD quality. This is very frustrating when you own a device capable of streaming 24-bit and a music subscription that provides it. I thought I would have to wait for both Naim and Tidal to update their apps but Mconnect already has the solution! And, as an added bonus it’s better than both the Naim and Tidal apps and more reliable. I found myself regularly logging out / back in with the Apple iPhone version of the Tidal app as it kept crashing! Thanks to Mconnect, I don’t need to use the Tidal app again! Worth every penny of the £5.99!

For the price this is one of the very few apps that connects Qobuz to my upnp players to play hi res music. Yes some players have Qobuz built in but this just adds another layer of flexibility and connectivity. Excellent.

Nice player with comfortable button sizes für the most used controls. One thing for improvement would be, that with some uPbP servers, when adding an artist to favourites, it shows all songs flat rather than a subdivision by albums. When using with Plex as server, than it works with songs divided into albums.

MConnect does simply and conveniently all I require in my new setup with Dynaudio Focus 10s. An elegant design. Bravo!

Needed a simple solution to stream high bitrate content to my naim nds. This just works, no messing about. It’s given my naim nds a new lease of life. I have moved on from the other streaming services and Qobuz is exactly what I needed to get the most out of the source. Mconnect was the best £5.99 I’ve spent.

I have Bubbleupnp on my Pixel phone to compare this to which helps. Whereas Bubble always finds my renderer, with mconnect it is hit & miss. In particular, it finds it difficult with my Marantz but not with my Yamaha. On the interface it could do with the option of the ing, perhaps following the system theme with a Dark/White option. Also if I'm being picky I would say that the whole App could be closer aligned to Apple Design which Apple has a great site dedicated to. On the plus side it works well streaming Qobuz & has no problem seeing all my favourites. It also identifies Hi Res tracks which is something Bubble doesn't. I don't have any saved music files so can't comment about playing these from a NAS or similar.

I’m using it with uPnP server but it just stop working while playing some album from Qobuz both in background or in foreground. Thing is for my needs this is the only app on the AppStore! So please improve it.

Jumps tracks constantly, randomly. Emails ignored.

App doesn’t work since last update installed yesterday. Just sticks on the logo screen and then eventually crashes and closes on its own. Tried numerous times but does the same every time. Please help!
