how to use Aurliac Altair G1 - no lightning DS App anymore

Does anyone have any recommendation on how to control an Altair G1 now that the Lightning DS app is gone?

I had issues with the app connecting to my streamer, so I thought I would delete and re-download it. Little did I know that the app is gone from the App Store (IOS)...so not sure what I can do...obviously controlling through the front panel is an option...but certainly not very useful or easy.

Thank you!

@lanx0003 no worries - I appreciate the input.

I never thought that you could hear a difference between 2 different hi-res digital sources that were being processed through the same DAC and Preamp/Amp combo.

But I did in fact notice (think I posted about this a while ago) how I could hear a significant difference between playing the same song via Qobuz versus a ripped lossless file (with the ripped lossless file sounding better)

At this point, for $599 for a Nucleus One, and the ability to keep using the Auralic DACs, I am willing to give it a try.

Thank you

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for comments on my situation. 

I bought the Roon Nucleus One and had it up and running, playing my files, in about 15 minutes.

I am using my Auralic Altair G1 as the DAC (which I love) and it sounds perfect.

Exactly the same as when I played my files directly from the Altair.

Roon definitely has a different IOS interface, but I will work it out :) 

 

and thanks @easystreamer for the initial suggestion!
