Article: The Complete Guide To HiFi UPnP / DLNA Network Audio

[Krutsch]

Nice write up and obviously a lot time went into this!

 

I feel compelled to comment, as I have spent years and countless hours mixing/matching and experimenting with DLNA, even including work to customize Twonky on a NAS box.

 

This line was a little discouraging to read:

 

Bubble DS - Android based Control Point software developed by a Linn DS user. I haven't used this app

 

My conclusion, after trying literally all of the iOS apps I could find was this: forget about using an iPad as a control point. My experience with PlugPlayer and Kinsky left me with nothing kind to say about these apps - although I don't have a Linn renderer, so my milage may vary.

 

BubbleUPnP is a generalized version of Bubble DS that is becoming the de facto Android control point app; it really blows everything else I've used out of the water. I have recommended to others that if they are serious about DLNA, consider buying a $199.00 Nexus 7 tablet just to run this app as a control point.
