Help finding contol point compatible with Krell Connect

[artur9]

First, thanks for reading.

I have a Krell Connect (no dac) and the app Krell provides does not have a search or playlist feature. Frankly, it's a bit flaky and doesn't stay connected to the Connect very well.

I had been using Kinsky and upmpdcli to mpd running on a BDP-1 and I liked the combination but thought the Krell might sound better (it does to me, btw).

I have spent much time trying to find a control app that can see both the Connect and minimserver with not much luck. I only have iOS devices here. I know that may be part of the problem and the iPad I want to use is stuck on iOS 9.

Anyone else out there with this particular predicament?

The craziest thing I've done so far is try to get mpd on the Linux box running minimserver to play through pulseaudio-dlna. Sadly, that is fraught with issues, the worse being that it resamples the audio for no good reason.

To the best of my knowledge, the Krell is based off the StreamUnlimited 700 so anything compatible with that and my iPad should work.
