i'm using the bridge II for my audio streaming from my mac mini running OS X server. On the OS X server, i'm running minimserver, minimwatch, minimstreamer, bubbleupnp, and my ripped audio files are on a raided pair of 5TB disks. I use the Lumin ipad app.
To get to this point, a lot of configuration had to be done:
bubbleupnp had to be setup that pointed to both the bridge II and the Minimserver.
initially my playback of dsd files didn't work, so i had to install ffmpeg on the OS X server and in Minimserver, told it to use ffmpeg to route all dsd files from the minimserver to the bridge II.
Everything works great now. I can stream all my ripped music as well as playing Tidal thru the bridge II. I had the Auralic Aries and used the OS X/Minimserver combination with that which worked flawless too. My directstream jr is only a couple of days old but I am enjoying it even before breaking it in
