List of useful functions to be added.

Great idea. 

I really like what the developers have done so far, but hey, there is always room for improvement. Here is a list of things that come to my mind first:

Software iOS:
-faster reconnection to network (especially for volume control)
-source renaming
Phantom Remote App iOS
-"real" source and devices selector (Spark, Devices etc) in addition to the link to the Spark App
Spark iOS:
-Playlist editing (touch & move, reorder)
-permanently visible Volume control from first screen before the music plays. Sometimes when switching from optical to Streaming it keeps the same volume which could be a problem as most times the optical sources deliver a "lower" signal then Dialog sources (Streaming, HD).

WatchOS
An additional nice feature for the iOS Remote App would be Apple Watch integration. Would be nice to remote control the basic functions of Phantom (Volume, Play/Pause, Skip Forward, Skip Back, Source and Device select).

Remote Control (Physical):
I haven't seen it yet, but it should provide (with visible feedback):
-Volume control
-Source switching
-Skip Forward, Skip Back, Play, Pause

Remote Control (Generic)
- Would love to be able to remote control the basic functions of the Phantom Remote App via Bluetooth with a Harmony Smart Remote. I don't know though if this would be technically feasible.

Spark App (Desktop, OSX)
! API for other software and compatibility to Mac OS X MIDI Plug Ins. I would love to use Roon and connect directly to Spark/Dialog using the Dialog distribution system as backend, but Roon or any other App etc. as frontend. Roon should be able to choose Spark from OS X as an output device and should be able to control the Phantom volume directly.
- Maybe an input adjustment for the level would also be useful, e.g. for Optical and Bluetooth +/- XY db. Both are from my experience (much) lower than Streaming or HD from Dialog.
- Grouping of playlist songs to be able to move/delete them
