The control app thread

Yes, true, maybe. This is the reason why I hesitated to buy the streamer. But I did find it 2nd hand for a good price, so I gave it a try.

Quote: another one buys a new streamer to get his app working......?

This was one reason. Before this I was using a minidsp SHD Studio. This integrates a streamer and is also openhome capable. But you cannot stream qobuz using the openhome interface via lumin or linn app. So I needed the Bubble UPnP server on my NAS. This works fine, but it always did feel a little bit tinkered. At least with synology DSM7 where you had to docker the bubble server, because synology did built some constraints for software packagers somehow. And my intel NAS does not officially support docker, although it works fine when installing it manually.

But you make me think about using JPlay, because it will not be much more expensive as a new streamer after some years. However I prefer to pay once (maybe a lifetime license) instead of subscription models.
