Streamer apps critical


I don't understand why high end manufacturers release streamers with terrible apps. One of the strongest advantages of the Nodes is the BluOS app. It's simple and effective,  though not full-featured. I understand the Innuos app is great. Not all of us like much less want to pay the cost of ROON and the online apps, like USB audio Player are clunky. I would love to see a paid-for version of BluOS or other manufacturers license a common but customized app, much as early versions of Windows were available from Dell, Gateway, Compaq and so many others.

Absolutely.  The app frequently defines the experience.  I used to have a Bryston BDP-3 but ditched it due to the terrible software web based program it relied upon

You're right , Bluesound is a great platform .  Cyrus is using it in their XR and 40 series streamers.
