Munich 2018

They are moving to one Ecosystem with Pro and Phantom and Spark will be the control app for all. That’s why they aren’t working on the Expert app.

The last time I heard that mentioned was a year ago, maybe two. I wasn't mentioned at all in Munich and with the sense that they now recognised that Expert and Phantom appeal to two distinct populations I'm not sure it is still on the agenda.

Actually the point was made by Devialet about how few people were using Spark to control their Phantoms. 90% prefer to use Spotify and other native apps. 

The same would surely follow with Expert.

Exactly my experience. Now uPnP works via iOS, OSX and Android using third party apps, and Air works as well (but uPnP via OSX seems better), there is no need for the iOS app. 

All they have to do is sort out the volume control and get it to revert back to the set default level when switching sources. 

However, if they ever get Qobuz onboard, they will need some way of controlling it. Hopefully they will get a modified version of the Qobuz app, but if Qobuz build uPnP into their iOS app, then that will become irrelevant.
