Casting full device lossless audio to UPnP

[Rawi]

Hi Simon,

I am here based on Mark Levinson support recommendation.

I recently bought a UPnP Mark Levinson 5101 renderer from them while knowing nothing about UPnP. I used a Google Cast Wiim streamer before it.

I used to cast all my device audio to the Wiim streamer and enjoy all streaming apps, read aloud audio and everything using the original prefered reliable apps on my device. It was practical as casting is a single step, then everything goes flawless. I didn't know about the Google Cast resolution limitations back then.

I thought I could do the same but in full res using UPnP but I proved wrong. Although I now stream from Qobuz and Tidal in high res, I am confined to UPnP apps that limit my sources. I am unable to stream Apple Music into UPnP, or even text readaloud audio for example.

My research led me to the concept of "transcoding". I got the BubbleUPnP app and tried the casting feature but the 5101 returned an "incompatible format" error.

Cab MinimServer present a solution?
