Running in Docker is a workaround but was extremely slow transferring data, become unstable and crashed Minimserver for possibly the first time ever. Uninstalled Minimserver and reinstalled to run in Docker as well and all seems to work.

I did mention the Docker requirement as it can be a sticking point, but I don't understand "slow transferring data". Are you saying that the Docker build itself was slow? Given that both BubbleUPnP Server and MinimServer have similar dependencies (Java) I'd assume the build size and duration would be very similar.

I've been using BubbleUPnP Server for years and I've never had, or heard of it crashing MinimServer. If you have any logs or crash dumps I think bubbleguuum and simoncn would be very interested.

BubbleUPnP Server deosn't allow you to create a DLNA proxy of a DLNA renderer so an OpenHome control point is required, which usually isn't a problem given the lack of decent options on iOS and the benefits of removing the queue from the phone.
I've heard of JPLAY but what's the Auralic app called?

I'm not going to argue with you there; it's worth every penny and then some.
