Sorry I forgot to mention that I am not doing any Bubble server transcoding (hirez to 48 or 44, etc) , no.

What do you mean by including a separate statement that "using Openhome doesn't affect the stream"? How does one do OpenHome without doing BubbleUPnP? Or are you simply trying to underscore that Bubble would do no harm if simply doing OH?

Thx

Some renderers such as Linn DS support the OpenHome protocol as well as standard UPnP.

The OpenHome protocol changes the way the control point and renderer talk to each other. It doesn't change the way the renderer talks to the server. When the renderer is playing music, it is talking to the server to get the music it is playing. This interaction is the same with or without OpenHome.
