Roon is the biggest bang for the buck in my two systems. I bought a lifetime subscription, granted before the price increase. But if you have Qobuz and/or Tidal, it will revolutionize your sound quality and your music education and discovery. They have a trial period. I highly recommend you take the trial.
Need streaming App that “connects to Qobuz” & plays using my DLNA/UPnP device?
I used Audirvana to stream QoBuz to my DLNA/UPnP device (Bricasti M21 DAC) but it required me to compromise my MAC Firewall (unblock connections) and that was NOT acceptable. I do not understand why Audirvanna requires an open firewall on my MAC Computer, but I have already deleted it. The protection of my computer data is much MORE important than an audio connection.
MusicLife and Linn Wazoo do not support my DLNA/UPnP device. Roon and HQ Player (Signalyst) are too complicated for my simple application. They may also require unacceptable Firewall security changes (I was told but do not really know).
I am currently using MConnect HD Player ($5.99) and it works. Its user interface is not easy to use, and it has other related quarks. It does stream from QoBuz to my Bricasti M21 DAC using the Ethernet connection.
Can anyone Recommend a streaming App that “connects to Qobuz” and plays using my DLNA/UPnP device? I need it to run on my IPad and have a reasonable cost. A trail period is a must have to ensure it works.
Obviously, if MConnect is the best available, I will continue to use it. There has to be something better available.
The Aurender N10 Server is my main source of music. The above is an experiment to see how an Ethernet connection using the Bricasti M21 DAC compares to what I have now. Thanks.
