Ratings and reviews

Was once my favorite, but hasn't really kept up with some other options. It's folder access is still top notch for a large library, and it sounds good with a great EQ. But playlist importing is flakey at best, the interface is very dated (and not customizable), and it's missing features like streaming from online sources. Still good, but no longer my favorite.

It works and does a nice job. More than I can say for the Samsung player or many others - this one will actually *play* 16bit and 24bit FLAC on a phone with a proper UHD DAC (like the Samsung S8). It doesn't blow me away or anything, but since my music library is mostly 16bit+, I was a little pissed to find the Samsung player couldn't use them.

Best player I've tried. Sound quality is perfect. The "infinite" EQ is amazing. Playlists are by far the easiest to create, add to, delete from, and edit the order. In rare cases, album artwork does not show up. After years of perfect use, I had it fail to play 1 song in the playlist--it would skip it every time. I just deleted the app, reinstalled it, and it's played fine since. Thanks for another solid piece of work, Onkyo. This is also why I only buy your receivers. : )
