Lots of steps until I can hear music

[Ernst Wilhelm Grueter]

Hi Your input is really appreciated. I always enjoy communication to people full of knowledge and willing to share.
I do have BubbleUPnP and HEOS app on my smartphone. So this gives me some Freedom,

Even if a remote control is a bit old fashioned using the RC was my idea, expecting it could be very handy.

There is another potential issue. Actually I have 3 devices and the complexity is growing depending on this number, hence I tried to live without my smartphone.
* First our TV
* then our Denon (linked to the TV via HDMI eARC) and
* at least my Smartphone

This can interfere when switching to watching TV. It can happen that I still hear music from my NAS. I am happy with the various options. In a few days that I take a decision either for the RC or for BubbleUPnP. We'll see.
