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.

Judging by some posts on the PS Audio forum, the AirLens uses a Conversdigital board for its streaming capabilities. That means you should be able to use the mconnect Control HD app on iOS devices to stream internet radio via vTuner. Hopefully the stations you listen to are on their list.

Carlsbad2,

"implementation of I2S has been horrible.  There is no standard and implementation is different by every vendor."

While technically true, many vendors do offer I2S that is configurable, Denafrips (and I believe Musician) comes to mind

Listening to it now. Works perfectly with JPlay. Sonically, sans burn-in and with the supplied HDMI cable, it is a bit more immediate and slightly more detailed (better textures) than the Lumin. Kinda unfair to start judging this early, but certainly nothing wrong with the sound.

Thanks for the update @markmuse sounds like I may have to try it out after all.

Which Lumin you own?  Thanks again for posting your feedback on AirLens.
