After setting up the hardware and making the necessary cable connections, I installed the MiND Controller app on my iPad. The user interface of the app was generally good, and it did not take long for me to navigate comfortably through its various functions. The streaming control using the app was typically swift and loading and modifying the queue were quite straightforward. I appreciated being able to access the music files stored on my NAS using the app. Most of the time during the review, I used the app to control the operation of the MOON 681, such as changing input selection and turning the unit on/standby. Apart from some occasional glitches, operating the MOON 681 through the app typically ran smoothly. The glitches were mostly associated with the occasional loss of network connectivity when waking up from standby, causing the device to appear as MOON 681 (unconfigured) in the app. Switching the device off and then on again after a few seconds (from the on-off switch on the rear panel) typically resolved the situation, allowing it to reconnect to its stored network configuration. Given the infrequent occurrence of the glitches, I did not find them overly concerning. A firmware update could probably fix it.
