Enhanced Music Controller Lite 1.34

This application offers users the ability to remotely control a Network Player or a Network A/V Receiver over a local network, catering primarily to devices from Onkyo, Pioneer, Integra (released April 2016 or later), and Denon/Marantz models equipped with HEOS technology. Additionally, select TEAC models, such as the Teac NT-503, are also supported.

Among the most noteworthy features are music playback and sound profile management, making it a practical choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Key advantages include:

• Maximum privacy: The app is devoid of advertisements, trackers, telemetry, and requests for unnecessary permissions like GPS.
• Modern design: Utilizing Material design principles, it supports various color themes and adapts effectively for use on both smartphones and tablets in portrait and landscape orientations.
• Convenient controls: Quick access to essential music playback actions and shortcuts for media items.
• Comprehensive playback control: Users can play, stop, pause, navigate tracks, seek time, and engage repeat and random modes.
• Extensive tone control: Options for adjusting listening modes along with bass, center, treble, and subwoofer levels.
• Enhanced Play Queue support: Features for adding, replacing, removing items, clearing the queue, and modifying playback order.
• Streaming capability: Supports TuneIn Radio, Deezer, Spotify, and Tidal streaming if compatible with the receiver.
• DAB / FM / AM reception: Available if supported by the receiver.
• Multi-zone functionality: Allows control of multiple zones when supported by the receiver.
• Multi-room management: Enables group control of devices connected via FlareConnect for Onkyo/Pioneer/Integra users; functioning without Wi-Fi is also possible.
• Device settings management: Displays device details and allows control of settings like dimmer level and sleep timers.
• OpenVPN compatibility: Facilitates control of receivers over an OpenVPN connection even through cellular networks.
• Tasker integration: Enhances automation potential for users who utilize the Tasker app.

However, there are certain limitations to be aware of:

• The app does not enable music streaming from a phone to a network player or receiver.
• An additional official Onkyo or Denon app is required to log in to Deezer, Tidal, or Spotify.
• Pioneer models produced before 2016 are not supported; examples include VSX-424 and VSX-920K.
• Certain Denon models also lack support such as AVR-X1000 and DNP-730AE.
• The "Play Queue" feature may not be available on specific Onkyo firmware versions like CR-N765 and TX-NR626.

The app has been validated with various devices including:

• Onkyo: TX-L20D through TX-RZ1100 series devices.
• Integra: DTM-6 and DTR models from 30.7 to 40.7.
• Pioneer (post-2016): Multiple VSX-LX series receivers among others.
• TEAC: NT-503 and AG-D500 models.
• Denon (with HEOS): Wide range including AVR-X3700H to AVR-X6300H.
• Marantz (with HEOS): Models NR1200 through SR6015.
