Another nice tech surprise. Onkyo, operating as a unit of VOXX/Sharp, has updated its phone app, and it’s a significant improvement. Unwanted sources listed for my versatile TX-NR676 receiver, that I enjoy using very much, can now be hidden in the app. Yes, I want to keep AM radio as an option!
A major functional fix is the Music Server client now works as it should with my DLNA server, which runs on an old Windows netbook concurrently with Logitech Media Server. The receiver still can’t play the lossless WMA format, but almost nothing outside of Windows and LMS does. I’m in the process of re-ripping those CD’s to FLAC anyway.
The BIG enhancement is the addition of — be still my heart — GAPLESS PLAYBACK! Yet another niceness is the ability to play albums by either track number or by the song title. A very good job by Onkyo.
Pioneer and Onkyo are the same company. I’m one of the few who doesn’t use Spotify, but you’ve given me a reason to try it.
Nice. I had an almost opposite experience with my Pioneer. Part of the reason I bought it was for the built-in Spotify support. But a couple of years later, it stopped working, and they said they weren’t going to fix it. Now I just do Spotify via the Spotty app on LMS.
