Pros and cons of Hi-Res music player-NePLAYER app for iPhone and iPad

Hi-Res music player-NePLAYER app good for

Very nice app, works very efficiently with network nas. Could you add support for ifi-audio dacs (iDSD) ?
The only high resolution player capable of supporting USB dacs and playing from upnp/dlna.
ハイレゾを聞くには別途、Apple 純正のlightening USBカメラアダプタが必要だが、mojoに繋げて聞いてます。 唯一、アプリを立ち上げてからmojoを接続すると48kHzで認識されてしまうので、立ち上げる前につなぐ必要がある点がマイナス。
Works like a charms, only DSDnot over network, prob bc of the size
I have compared all of the apps capable of playing high resolution music in the App Store (Neutron, Onkyo HF Player, iAudiogate, KaiserTone etc) and NePLAYER is the best. A good easy to navigate user interface but it is the sound that makes NePLAYER my choice. For reference, I use an iPod Touch 6th generation digital line out to a Chord Mojo DAC/amp and analog into Shures KSE1500. NePLAYER can be on first blush overly bright but that is because of the clarity and detail it provides. The overall sonic signature is balanced. NePLAYER provides a wide soundstage but nothing smeared. If you are looking for a high res music app look no further.

Some bad moments

Please be advised that this product is a scam: can not see files via dlna, if you have a chance sometimes you can see empty directories. Dsd incompatible !!! Moreover assistance does not respond. For 15 euros, please guys just pretend to work. ONE star is too much

Take care before buying. Too many cuts. Too many failures in connecting with server. Expensive.
When playing a 192k/24bit track through my Oppo HA-2 headphone amp, the track gets down sampled to 48k. The same track plays without being down sampled through another Hi Res audio app. So this one gets removed.
Terrible flash back issue consistently occur on iPhone 6 Plus after the 2.0 ver. major update, and my iOS ver. is 8.4, Ive tried to re-install the app, but the issue was still here, please help to fix it up as soon as possible. Thank you!
It plays lossless high res files from my NAS at native resolution with no problems using the Lightning camera connector and an Oppo HA-1. The only annoyance is the pop-up ads for Radius products. The user interface is on the plain side but usable.
