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.

PS Audio has a 30 day or better, return policy. Comsider getting a streamer that provides all the functions.

I am a fan of Aurrender, best of class sound quality, with well respected app to control it. I own two, one on the low end and one at the top. Plop it down and your iPad takes over, radio and direct support for Qobuz and Tidal.

I don't have an Airlens, but the specs do say it is DLNA ready. There are lots of apps that support internet radio via DLNA. Perhaps approach it from that angle.

I use Logitech Media Server and it integrates my local collection, internet radio and my Qobuz subscription beautifully. LMS has a UPnP/DLNA plugin available, though I've never used it.

Thanks. I did ask PS A. They are basically counting on Roon to drive the thing. Volumia won't work for me, it requires Raspberry or Windows.

I know Aurender has great software and I might end up there at some point. Currently using Lumin. I have PS A's DSD Mk2 DAC, which I think is superb. I want to try the I2S interface. Aurender is USB like my Lumin.

Yes, DNLA / UPnP, but as I understand it that doesn't necessarily mean it will reside on my iPad and direct the stream to my streamer. Still checking these apps. out. 

I think some of the people are using BubbleUPnp servers with the Airlens.  I see it on my SonicTransport that runs my Roon core.  Been thinking about firing it up and see how it works.
