While the update is in process you will see the following message and the icon for your device will disappear from the device selector screen.
When the update is complete your device will again be shown in the device selector, but without the Update Required message. You are now ready to explore all that Mosaic Control has to offer! - Meet Mosaic Control
Once a dCS device is selected you’ll be presented with the Mosaic Control home screen and from here you can find music to play, control playback and your play queue, as well as adjust all of the configuration options of your dCS device.
Play some music
dCS Mosaic Control has a simple and intuitive interface that provides access to powerful functionality. Since the same browsing interface is used for all of the possible services you'll be able to navigate libraries and play music without having to worry about the learning curve.
-
Select a service
To get started select a service from the service selector on the home screen. We’ll use Qobuz, but you can follow along with any of the available services. -
Login
Deezer, Qobuz, and TIDAL require you to have a user account in order to browse their libraries. Enter your account credentials on this screen. If you don’t have an account there’s a sign-up link that you can use to set one up.
-
Find Some Music
Each service has a slightly different top-level directory, but the function is the same between all of them. Tap on an item to be shown its contents and continue until you find what you’re looking for.
-
The Album List
In this example we’ve browsed in Qobuz to Discover > All Genres > New Releases.
This view is showing the list of albums in that category along with artist information and artwork. Note the ‘CD’ and ‘HI-RES’ markers. For the services that provide it (Qobuz and TIDAL), Mosaic Control will show album format information if available. The possible options are:
Indicates lossless resolution greater than CD 
Indicates a an album in MQA format (TIDAL only) 
Indicates lossless resolution of 16 bit 44.1 kHz 
Indicates lossy compression (AAC and MP3) - The Album View
Tap on an album to be shown the album view.
You are shown the tracks contained within the album. From here you have a number of options
- Tap ‘PLAY ALL’ in the header to queue the entire album and start playback.
- Tap on an individual track to bring up the track action menu from which you can start playback of the selected track or add it to the queue.
- See What’s Playing Now
The right pane of the screen shows the now playing view and this information is always available to you no matter where you are in the app.
- See What’s in the Play Queue
The three buttons on the bottom of the screen allow you to navigate between the app views that concern browsing (left), the play queue (centre), and searching (right). You can tap any one of them to be taken to that view and you can move between the three as needed without losing your position on any one of them.
Let’s take a look at the play queue by tapping on the ‘PLAY QUEUE’ button
This view shows all of the tracks in the queue along with an indication of the track currently being played. In addition you are shown information on track duration and the source the track is being played from. In this case we’re playing from Qobuz so you’ll see Qobuz icons next to each track.
By tapping on a track you can start playback from that position or delete the track from the play queue.
If you would like to empty the play queue completely use the 3-dot menu in the header.
Those are the basic functions that will allow you to find and play music. To learn more about the available functions of dCS Mosaic please continue reading the user guide and don't hesitate to post in the dCS.Community forum if you need assistance.3.1: Navigation
The Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is displayed on every screen in Mosaic Control and allows the user to switch between the three main functions related to finding and playing music – browsing, play queue management, and searching. Each of these three functional areas are described in detail later in this document.
The navigation bar is identical in function between tablets and phones with the only difference being the elimination of the text labels on the narrower phone screen.
Tablet (landscape)
Phone
TIP: The color of the navigation bar icons indicates which app function is currently active.
The play queue view is active The play queue view is not active 
The Navigation Buttons
Service Button
The service button provides access to all of the music that you have available to you. This includes UPnP servers, Deezer, Qobuz, TIDAL, internet radio, podcasts, and locally-attached USB storage. The button icon and label change to match the service you are currently browsing.
Browsing TIDAL Browsing a UPnP server 
TIP: Tapping the service button while browsing a service (blue button) will take you back to the service selection screen.
Play Queue Button
The play queue button provides access to the current list of tracks queued for playback. In this view you can reorder the queue, remove tracks, or clear the queue completely.
Search (Spyglass)
With the search function you can locate content in your own library or any of the streaming services with ease. Tap the button, enter your search term, and tap SEARCH.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Search is performed on the currently-selected service
- USB drives attached to your dCS device are not searchable
The Header
The header is common to the phone and tablet apps and provides information about the current screen as well as controls for navigating back through your history.
From left to right the functions are as follows:
Menu button – Shows the settings interface. 
Back button – browses back to the previous screen
TIP: A tap-and-hold of the back button will take you back to the top level of the service you are browsing.
Page Title – Title of the current page. In this case it’s an album called “Trench”. 
History – Show your browsing history back to the top level of the current service.
The history button allows for quick navigation back to a prior screen.
3.2: Now Playing
The Now Playing Pane
As with the navigation bar the now playing pane provides important functions and is available on any screen within the Mosaic Control app. The primary purpose of the now playing pane is to inform the user of the currently playing track as well as provide basic playback controls. Due to screen differences this pane is implemented quite differently on phone and tablet.
On tablets in landscape orientation the now playing pane is always present on the right side of the screen.
On phones or tablets in portrait orientation a condensed now-playing pane is always visible at the bottom of the screen.
Swiping up on the horizontal bar (or tapping it) brings up a full-screen now playing pane.
Similarly, swiping down (or tapping the bar again) collapses the view.
Artwork (current track)
The upper section contains the artwork for the currently playing track or radio station. In the case of a non-networked input being active this section will show an icon representing the input.
The artwork view also provides some additional information and functions:
- Tapping on the artwork will bring up a full-screen view of the image
- The icon in the lower right corner represents the service that this track is playing from
In this case a Qobuz track is playing - In some cases the streaming service provides extended metadata for the currently-playing track
Tapping on this icon will display the extended metadata if it is provided by the service
Playback Controls
The middle section of the now-playing pane contains the playback transport controls. The available buttons will change depending on the service in use and the functions it allows.
The scrubber bar indicates the current playback position within the track along with elapsed time and total track time. Dragging the scrubber will seek within the track.
The following controls are available:
Play / Pause and Skip Forward / Back 
Repeat track / all 
Shuffle Metadata
Metadata for the currently playing track is provided along with information on the track format
The track format information will allow you to quickly determine the resolution of the current source track as follows:
- Lossless PCM is shown as “PCM” along with the bit depth and sample rate regardless of the file format being played
- DSD is presented as DSD or DSDx2
- Lossy formats (AAC and MP3) are shown as the format and the bitrate (e.g. MP3: 320 kbps)
- MQA is identified with the authentication indicator and the original sample rate
Volume Control
The volume control is at the bottom of the now playing pane and includes some useful functions
When the handle of the volume control is tapped the current volume level is displayed. This value is also displayed during adjustments for precise level setting.
Mute Control
Both volume controls include a mute buttonWhen the mute function is activated the button icon changes and the volume control slider is dimmed
Phase Toggle
This control toggles the phase of your dCS DACThe icon indicates the current setting. In the example above the unit is operating in normal phase (the default). The icon will rotate upside-down when phase is inverted.
This control is available next to the mute button on phones as well as tablets used in portrait orientation. For tablets used in landscape orientation the phase toggle is available in the enhanced volume control (see below).
Enhanced Volume Control (Tablet Only)
Due to the narrow width of the now playing pane on tablets in landscape orientation Mosaic Control has an enhanced Volume Control that can be called up at any time.
To activate the enhanced volume control tap the volume slider on either side of the handle
This control is much larger and makes precise level adjustments easier. In addition the normal phase / inverted phase control is located to the right of this control.
PLEASE NOTE: The enhanced volume control is only available on tablets in landscape orientation.
3.3: Media Browsing
The Media Browser
The media browser is the heart of Mosaic Control and the part of the interface that you will interact with most often. While the browser is intuitive and easy to navigate it’s full of very useful features that will make exploring your collection a pleasure.
The service button provides access to all of the music that you have available to you. This includes UPnP servers, Deezer, Qobuz, TIDAL, internet radio, podcasts, and locally-attached USB storage. The button icon and label change to match the service you are currently browsing.
Shortcuts
Depending on what you are browsing you can end up many levels deep so it’s good to remember the following navigation shortcuts:
The back button will take you up one level.
TIP: On iOS you can swipe from the left side of the screen to go back. On Android you can use the back button / gesture in your device’s navigation panel.
BIGGER TIP: A tap-and-hold action on the back button will take you to the top level of the service you are currently browsing.Use the history function to jump back several levels at once. Tap on the service button to go back to the service selector. List Views
Using the media browser is just like browsing through the folders of your computer. Find an item, tap on it, and you’ll be shown its contents.
In some cases you’ll see a simple, text-only list.
Let’s look at 'New Releases’
When the source has artwork and additional information available the interface will show it. This is a list of albums. Note that along with artwork and metadata Mosaic Control is also showing information about the format of the album.
Indicates lossless resolution greater than CD Indicates a an album in MQA format (TIDAL only) Indicates lossless resolution of 16 bit 44.1 kHz Indicates lossy compression (AAC and MP3) 
Indicates an item that is not available to stream PLEASE NOTE: Format information is only available for Qobuz and TIDAL.
From time-to-time you will find albums or tracks which are not available to stream. This is typically due to licensing restrictions.
Now tap on an album to view its contents.
The Album / Playlist View
Welcome to the album view. Here you’ll find the complete track listing and additional information about the album as well as the controls you use to add items to your play queue.
Since this is a single album the artwork is shown in the header. When viewing a playlist artwork is shown for each track as well.
Adding Tracks to the Play Queue
There are a number of ways to add tracks to your play queue:
Play the entire album PLEASE NOTE: This function will erase the contents of your play queue and replace them with the tracks of this album. Be careful**
Tapping the arrow in the PLAY ALL button will open a menu with additional options:
Add entire album to the next position in the queue 
Add entire album to the end of the queue If you simply want to add a track or two then all you need to do is tap anywhere on the track and a playback menu will pop-up. The actions and their function are the same as the PLAY ALL menu.
Selecting Multiple Tracks
In some cases you may wish to select a subset of tracks for playback. This is a simple process with the media browser interface.
The first step is to tap-and-hold the first track that you want to select
In the image above the second track is selected. Note that the buttons in the header have changed:
Play only the selected tracks 
Return to the normal view As with the PLAY ALL button the PLAY SELECTION button has a drop-down and those actions behave in the same way as the PLAY ALL drop-down.
To add more tracks to the selection you simply need to tap on the additional tracks. If you make a mistake then tapping a selected track again will unselect it.
TIP: Tracks are played or added to the queue in the order that you select them. If you want the tracks to play in a specific order then make your selections in that order.
Special Functions
Extended Metadata
Mosaic Control has the ability to display extended metadata if the streaming service provides it. This can include reviews, information about production and mastering, as well as performers. When working inside the media browser extended metadata is available in two ways:
The first is via a button in the header of the album, artist, or playlist view. This will show you information about the contents of the current screen as a whole.
Album, Playlist or Artist information The second is via a menu on individual list items. This method will show you information on that specific item (e.g. track). The menu is accessed via the 3-dot button shown on individual items.
3-dot button When this button is tapped it will bring up a menu which contains additional available actions for that item.
In the example above tapping on TRACK INFORMATION will show the extended metadata about that track.
TIP: You’ll see the 3-dot menu button throughout Mosaic Control. Whenever it’s shown that’s an indication that there are additional options (like extended metadata) available for that item
The extended metadata loads in a tray from the bottom of the screen.
Tap anywhere outside the tray to dismiss it.
PLEASE NOTE: Extended metadata is extensively available for content from Qobuz, but it limited to select items from TIDAL. If Mosaic Control is not showing extended metadata options it means that the service you are browsing is not providing information for that item.
Library Favorites
With Mosaic Control you have the ability to add content items your favorites for each individual service. When you favorite an item it will be added to the favorites list on the service you are browsing and then be available to you on any device that streams from that service in addition to Mosaic Control.
For instance, content you favorite in TIDAL will be accessible through ‘My Music’ in the TIDAL app and through the same with any other device that links to your TIDAL account.
The types of items that can be favorited differs between the services that Mosaic Control supports, but the user interface is consistent across all of them.
If the service that you are browsing supports creating a favorite for a specific type of item then a 3-dot menu will be shown on that item’s list entry and the menu will have a LIBRARY… entry.
In the example above the 3-dot menu is open from an album entry.
Tapping on LIBRARY… will open a menu with the library options available for that track.
In this case you have the option of adding this item to your Deezer favorites list. Tapping the button will initiate the process and you’ll receive a confirmation when it is complete.
TIP: When in the album view you can add the entire album to your favorites by tapping the down arrow on the PLAY ALL button. In that menu you will find a LIBRARY… entry.
Your favorites are available at the top-level of each of the services and are categorized according to the convention used by that service.
Service Favorite Location Deezer All favorites stored in ‘My Library’ Qobuz Albums, Artists, and tracks are located in ‘Favorites’ and Playlists are located in ‘Playlists’ TIDAL All favorites are stored in ‘My Music’ Radio Stations are stored in ‘Favorites’ Podcasts Series are stored in ‘Favorites’ TIP: You can remove an item from your favorites using the same process you used to add it. The menu will display “Remove from favorites.”
Library Playlists
Mosaic Control will provide you with access to the playlists that you have stored on Deezer, Qobuz, and TIDAL and you can browse and play them just like any other content. You also have the ability to add new playlists as well as add tracks to an existing playlist. The process is the same for all three services.
Tap the 3-dot menu on the track that you would like to add to a playlist and select the LIBRARY… option.
Then tap on ‘Add to playlist’ and you see the following window:
This window shows you any existing playlists that you have stored on that service. In this case there’s an existing playlist called “LOVED TRACKS.”
To add an item to an existing playlist tap on the playlist name so that it is highlighted and then tap on the ADD button. You will receive confirmation when the process is complete.
To create a new playlist ensure that CREATE NEW… is highlighted and then tap the ADD button.
You’ll be provided with a space to enter a playlist name. Once done tap the CREATE button. You will receive confirmation when the process is complete.
Your playlists will be available in the following locations at the top level of each service:
Service Playlist Location Deezer My Library > Favourite Playlists Qobuz Playlists TIDAL My Music > Playlists PLEASE NOTE: In Mosaic 1.0.0 playlists are only supported in Deezer, Qobuz, and TIDAL. Furthermore, it is not possible to combine tracks from different services into one playlist.
3.4: Searching for Content
The Search Interface
Mosaic Control has a powerful search interface to assist you with finding content quickly and easily.
Tap the spyglass button to open the search interface With the search function you can locate content in your own library or any of the streaming services with ease. Tap the button, enter your search term, and tap SEARCH.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Search is performed on the currently-selected service
- USB drives attached to your dCS device are not searchable
Shortcuts
Similar to media browsing it’s possible to browse several levels into search results so the following shortcuts may be useful:
The back button will take you up one level.
TIP: On iOS you can swipe from the left side of the screen to go back. On Android you can use the back button / gesture in your device’s navigation panel.
BIGGER TIP: A tap-and-hold action on the back button will take you to the top level of the search interface.Use the history function to jump back several levels at once
Tap on the spyglass button to go back to the search screen
Search Screen
The search screen allows you to enter a search string as well as view a list of your past searches.
Tap on the search field and use the keyboard to enter a search string. Tap SEARCH to view the results.
You can enter whatever you would like to search on and Mosaic Control will attempt to match that string to all of the search categories available for each given service.
General Guidelines
- The search will be executed on the currently selected service.
- Search is supported on all services except USB storage devices attached to your dCS product.
- UPnP search availability and performance will vary greatly depending on the UPnP server software you use.
- Each service provides its own search mechanism so the quality of results may vary between services.
- Accents and special characters may be entered into the search field.
Results Screen
Search results are presented as a list of the top four hits in each available category.
- For Deezer, Qobuz, and TIDAL the available categories are Artist, Album, Track, and Playlist.

- For Radio and Podcasts the results are presented as a list of matching names with the option to filter the results by several different criteria.
The entries on the results screen follow the same conventions as list items in the media browser and you can interact with them the same way. This includes the format markers for Qobuz and TIDAL as well as the 3-dot menu.
Only one button is unique to the search results screen.
Show all results for the category If the item you’re looking for didn’t make it into the top four results for the appropriate category then you can show all of the results for a specific category.
From this point on there is no difference between these browsing screens and the ones in the media browser.
Search History
The main search screen shows a history of your past search terms.
Tapping any one of these items will execute a search using the listed term in the currently selected service. This is useful for repeating the same search across multiple services.
