The OP mentioned, "I know I can stream to my iPad and bump that over to the streamer but the quality problems are well known."
Uh, would someone please tell me the short version of what those "quality problems" are? Thanks. I'd like to know before going down a similar rabbit hole.
If we are talking about lossy Internet Radio, do those "quality problems" really matter that much? I mean, the OP could get a cheap $500 streamer from NAD, Cambridge, Bluesound, or God-forbid, a $220 WiiM, and do IR all day long from Tunein, vTuner, or even custom URL streams like the one from Octave Records.
Help with streamer software
I ordered a PS Audio streamer, the AirLens, due here this week. PS Audio does not have an app for their streamer, and I am not interested in using Roon. I found a full-featured app called JPlay that works very well for streaming Qobuz to my current Lumin streamer.
My problem is that I listen to a lot of internet radio, and that is not supported by JPlay. TuneIn and other radio apps that I am aware of do not stream directly to higher-end devices. I know I can stream to my ipad and bump that over to the streamer but the quality problems are well known.
Does anyone know of a radio app for iOS that will stream directly to a higher-end DNLA / UPnP streamer? Or is there another way to solve this without getting into the Roon world?
Thanks in advance.
