tomtean, just a couple of things that might be useful (I have a DirectSteam that I play from a Synology NAS through the Bridge with very good results).

Lightning, Lumin, and Kinsky control points require an OpenHome renderer to work properly. The Bridge unfortunately does not support the OH extensions, and neither will the forthcoming Bridge II (it will play gapless, though). There are a couple other iPad control points, but none of them is perfect. I think there is a thread here somewhere about iPad control points. If you haven't already bought an iPad, you might consider an Android tablet with BubbleUPnP control point.

The sound quality of the DirectStream is just stunning, BTW.
