MX-Stream Control Options
Official MX-Stream App, 3rd Party Apps, Webbrowsers on mobile devices and
The MX-Stream has a wide variety of control options. This doesn't only make it incredibly versa-
tile but also extremely future proof and able to withstand technical difficulties or the constant
changes in the IT landscape (downtime of Apple or Android App stores, no Internet connec-
tion, etc...). In fact, the MX-Stream can be entirely controlled without any internet access and
without any App downloads! So, if you just want to play some local music from a USB Stick or
hard drive or stream via Bluetooth, we will explain everything in this guide!
Here is a quick overview about all the control options:
1) Webbrowsers - mobile devices, tablets and PCs/Laptops (any operating system) (page 1 - 2)
2) Bluetooth/Airplay (page 2)
4) 3Rd Party Apps (page 4)
5) Upnp Apps (page 5)
6) Roon (page 6)
7) Offline Control (page 7 - 8)
Before you start, you need to either connect your MX-Stream to your home network via WiFi or
cabled ethernet. You do this without the need of any app or any extra downloads! Please refer
to the quick start manual.
And still very important to stress is that cabled ethernet is still vastly superior to WiFi connections
even in the year 2022! Realtime audio applications, such as the MX-Stream with high-resolution
audio, benefit from stable cabled ethernet connections like you wouldn't believe. For regular
HTTP web applications, like the internet, Web2.0 or 3.0, the quality of your connection rarely
matters. Your phone may show you full bars for your WiFi quality, but this does not say anything
about packet loss and drop-outs caused by WiFi all the time. Don't worry, all of that is insignifi-
cant for websites or social media. You are not relying on data reaching its destination within the
correct timeframe and without and degradation or loss. Modern web protocols will just request
missing or faulty packets again or in some cases it even doesn't matter if all packets are trans-
mitted. Websites, social media or video streaming will work even under all those circumstances!
Quality is not their concern! The protocols for streaming realtime audio in an audiophile lossless
way are completely different to the modern YouTubes, Facebooks and Instagrams of our time!
With this in mind, enjoy music streaming on your MX-Stream on the highest level possible!
