The app could be better especially for the price you pay for the equipment. You would think it would be as top notch. I can’t figure out why it disconnects every time I leave the app. Is there something I’m missing. How about updating a little more.

I’ve owned numerous McIntosh products over the decades and have never had an issue (well, there is the SACD transport in my main system, which can’t play SACDs, and I want to take it to Binghamton, but have received pushback), they’re reliability and sound quality keeps bringing me (and so many others) back again and again. I’ve recently purchased the RS150 Bluetooth loudspeaker for my gym (needs to be set up away from a wall, FYI) and tried to add this app for possible tweaks and software updates. It will not connect (after, say 30 tries), everything flashing on the speaker and my phone, phone on top, on the side, behind… Nothing. So I’m deleting the app. Stick to hardware (and be accommodating to those willing to drive 7+ hours to your factory for a potential repair). Full disclosure, I picked up a new SACD player this past weekend at ABT Electronics near Chicago to hold me over on my main system. So, there’s that. Big fan…

I have 3 preamps in 2 separate locations but app will only work with the initial preamp that was connected. McIntosh support states that is the way it works. No option to add another unit and suggested getting a different phone for each unit.
