BubbleUPnP Server doesn't replace MinimServer, it adds compatibility and functionality to both UPnP servers and renderers, in addition to Chromecast devices.

In the context of this topic you'd configure BubbleUPnP Server to create a proxy of your chosen renderer(s), and set their individual transcoding settings appropriately. Back in your control point you'd now see two instances of each renderer (the original and the proxied), and if you play to the proxied instance the transcoding settings would be applied.

In addition to transcoding, the proxied renderers benefit from the OpenHome UPnP extension.
