Is anyone developing a way for users to control an iOS or PadOS device playing Apple Music to a DAC via USB to amp from another iOS or PadOS device wirelessly? Specifically, full control. Not Accessibility, not to Apple TV, not HomePods, not firmware downgraded Airport Expresses to a DAC or other hacks mentioned for the past decade this “connect” like feature has been desired by audiophiles seeking exclusive mode on a device with that (iOS/PadOS) but — control it while sitting on a couch or in a wheel chair across the room. Exclusive mode being the key feature iOS and PadOS offer that is desired with full or nearly full Apple Music control.

Hello @Jablko, thank you for your post. If both devices are on the same network, you can use Bonjour, for example, to control an iOS/iPadOS device from another. In fact, the Multipeer Connectivity allows you to discover an send messages to multiple devices on the same network.

Oh Hi Apple Engineer. Why is Apple not making Apple Music on iOS and PadOS fully controllable from another iOS or PadOS device? Specifically to hook it up via USB to a DAC to play 24/96-24/192 lossless songs but sit on the couch across the room and control it on another device. Remote control, lossless, high resolution playback to a specific DAC is what is holding back Apple Music for many long time Apple users who are audiophiles from using Music.
