Recently added minimserver upgrade#

One of the reasons I like these products is the quality/ease of use of their IPad control apps. I like the idea of having a “one box” system and am exploring such products as Lumin (A1, T1, D2), Aurender (A10), and Auralic Altair.

Recently added minimserver upgrade#

So, I’m looking to upgrade the DAC/streamer in my main system. I’ve enjoyed using the Bluesound and will be moving it to a second system in a new addition to our house. I currently am using a Bluesound Node 2, streaming from Tidal and FLAC files stored on a Synology NAS. I am looking for a new DAC/Streamer option. So there is no need for BubbleUPnP Server in this situation if you’re using JRemote. I’ve used Kazoo for a while but am starting to experiment with Lumin since some people here have recommended it, and it looks promising.Īs amsco15 says, JRIver has its own UPnP server built in (as I understand it, not being a JRiver user). This works well for me and is worth trying by anyone who is setting up a NAS-based system. My setup is BubbleUPnP Server and MinimServer running on my Synology, with Linn Kazoo as control point on the iPad. By running an OH Renderer, you can use either the Linn Kazoo or Lumin control points, both of which are much superior to mconnect/mcontrol, and both include Tidal. One of the things that BubbleUPnP Server will do for you is let you create an OpenHome Renderer even if your hardware does not have this feature built in.

You need to run another server such as that supplied by the maker of your NAS (Synology’s Audio Station, e.g.) or MinimServer in addition to BubbleUPnP Server not to be confused with the excellent BubbleUPnP control point, of course. The problem is that BubbleUPnP Server, despite its name and despite being a very useful piece of software, is not actually a server. However, rromeo923 has apparently learned about it elsewhere. When I made my post #4, I did not mention BubbleUPnP Server because I was trying to keep things simple. You can only run one or the other I’m pretty sure.
