It's probably a good idea to start with streaming music from your library. Your UPnP control point app (either an app provided by TEAC or a third-party app such as BubbleUPnP or mconnect) should show a library named MinimServer[xxx] where xxx is the name of your laptop. Select this, browse to something in your library and play it.

After this is working, you can try internet radio. If you are in the UK, a good starting point is to play one of the BBC radio streams. See this page for detailed instructions on how to do this.

When you have the BBC streams playing correctly, you can edit your radio playlist (or create a new radio playlist) to add other stations. There is no GUI for doing this, so you need to use a text editor such as Notepad on Windows to edit the radio playlist and add URLs for the stations you want to play.

If you need help with creating your radio playlist or anything else, please post back here.

Thanks Simon.

I have to confess I have got myself in a muddle juggling the two instruction sets (teac and minimserver/streamer). The teac hr audio player on my laptop doesn't seem to detect minimserver and only appears to work if I connect via USB (I have now noticed network functions for the DAC are only available via mobile app!). While this produces amazing audio it isn't a practical option with the extra wiring involved and doesn't address the internet radio issue at all. It looks as though I have been barking up a non-existent tree here.
