You're right of course. Given BubbleUPnP thought the track needed transcoding the playlist that sat on Ropieee would have contained stream links to BubbleUPnP, so whilst there were fewer hops (to get the next playing track URL), it still had to go to BubbleUPnP, which had to go to MinimServer, which ...

This is the one thing I don't like about BubbleUPnP, all (or the majority at least) of its capabilities are turned on by default (although I do understand why), so you really need to lock things down otherwise you'll find it doing unexpected things, including draining the battery. Having said that, there's really nothing else to match it.
