WHY COUCH AMP

A real faceplate. Dot-matrix display, dimmer, HDMI out indicator, embossed nameplate — it mirrors the front panel live, including what's playing and the active sound field.
The whole API. Sound fields, Pure Direct, DSD Native, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, DCAC calibration types, per-speaker level trims, custom EQ, zone power, network standby, sleep timer, and firmware updates.
Edit inputs on the receiver. Rename inputs, pick icons, show/hide tiles, and set per-input sound-field presets — written to the receiver, not just the app.
FM done right. The tuner your receiver's remote forgot: seek up and down the dial from the couch, recall saved stations from a preset menu with real frequencies, and save the station you just found to any slot — no on-screen GUI, no memory-button gymnastics at the front panel. The dot-matrix display tracks the frequency live while it scans.
Classic ES support. STR-DA and STR-ZA receivers from the RS-232 era work over their External Control protocol — power, volume, inputs, and zones, discovered automatically on your network.
iPhone and Android. One native app, both platforms, no cloud, no account — it talks to your receiver over your own network.
