Thank you Anton,
And does it play gapless? It has though only negative critics from customers…can you confirm them?

Sorry, I can't confirm gapless. I don't use it very often since I primarily use MinimServer with Linn DS devices and therefore usually use other control points (Lumin, Kazoo). I use PlugPlayer rarely if I want to stream directly to iPad but haven't run into any issues and haven't tried for anything gapless.
Minimserver is far and away the best server out there, but unfortunately the control points that work with it are not always. The best control points I've found are Ipeng and Squeezepad for Squeezebox devices, which work brilliantly for playback on an iPad, but unfortunately only work with the Logitech Media Server, which is ok but not nearly as flexible as Minimserver.
