I don't have a full list, but I've tried things like: The sound quality is truly great and I love how few components there are.īut, I am quite disappointed with all the control apps I've tried. Specifically, most of the apps I tried do not support: What I can't help but feel is that none of them are offering some of the things I got with past setups (which involved a Raspberry Pi running Volumio or Moode (so Mpd software), or way back to a Squeezebox).searching - this is a big one, how do you not have search? am I just dense and missing it?.fast forwarding/rewinding within a track?.this is a tough one I know, but the ability to show a list of 'recently added' albums?.Is there something I'm missing to make UPnP apps better or is it just a limitation of the format? Perhaps a different setup on the NAS? Is Audio Station better than Media server? I've heard good things about Lumin and Auralic apps, but neither one seemed to work for me - they needed actual products from those companies. ![]() Sign up for a free Roon trial if your NAS supports it. The CXN will show up as a Roon endpoint since it is Airplay compatible. If you decide you like the Roon interface but are worried about the sound quality of the Airplay interface, you can get a small computer like this hP Mini running Roon endpoint software connected to the CXN's USB input as an endpoint. I have Marantz and Yamaha media receivers that are UPnP and Airplay compatible and have been using Roon for about six months after having tried all the UPnP apps you mentioned along with many others. I use the Roon iOS remote on my phone as the remote control. I currently use Roon to stream via Airplay on the receivers and it sounds very good. But my plan is to purchase a CXN and use Airplay for casual listening, and use the hp Pavilion Mini/USB input for serious listening. ![]() Actually, I am looking forward to comparing the Airplay and USB inputs to see how Airplay stacks up.įire away with questions or it you want to see screenshots of the Roon software. Quote from: fiveoclockfriday on, 12:40 pm Hello, my current setup is a Synology NAS (running Media Server + Bubble UPnP server which makes it openhome compatible), which is connected to a Cambridge Audio CXN, which goes out via xlr to a pair of DAC Maraschino monobolocks, to Kef LS50.
