This approach provides good basic functionality, but the limitations of the UPnP protocol make it very difficult for it to compete with a fully integrated control point/server combination in terms of providing a first-class user experience.

I think LUMIN is a good example of a CP where a great user experience is being achieved - and the major contributing factor is that the whole library is being cached. Its not perfect yet but its so good that its the only CP that comes close to the user experience of the Meridian Sooloos system, which has the substantial downside of being a clumsy 12 kg "Pc-Monster" as compered to a 700g 4gen iPad, which has sufficient power to easily manage a cached library of 8.000-10.000 albums.
