For the most part I use mconnect HD (iPad Mini) as well and haven't found better. Although it works well I don't love the UI either. As an alternative I use the Shairport mode (AirPlay emulator) on my microRendu in conjunction with the official Qobuz app, which is easier on my eyes and makes more sense to my brain cells. If you do happen to find a better app, please share. Best of luck.
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.
