New Remote App update for Mac DAC users
Posted by: Wat on 04 November 2013
Apple has released a new version of its free Remote App that supports switching between landscape & portrait mode on iOS7 so far it seems slicker & faster than previous version & makes playing music from a Mac Mini through a Naim DAC or DAC V1 nicer to control from an iOS device than it was using the iOS 6 version under iOS7.
It still doesn't support lyric sheets or Wiki links, but you can't have everything, it does seem to render artwork quicker than before and a few albums where my artwork didn't always show as expected now work.
It does better playlists, whatever they are, for people who like to listen to mixtures of tracks instead of complete albums.
There is absolutely no difference in sound quality from playing the Mac through a Naim DAC as a result of updating the remote control, but I'm sure somebody on another forum will post to say there is. This forum is too sensible for that.
So anybody holding back on an iOS upgrade because of the lack of landscape mode can now move to iOS7 if they want. For those that don't want it is not compulsory.
I posted this because i read several posts from Mac DAC/V1 users who wanted the return of landscape view and thought it would be of interest To them.
