Hello All Network Audio Experts, I’m sure this has been covered in several threads before, but I can’t seem to find clear advice regarding use of Bridge II for streaming. I’ve seen lots of negative press for the MConnect app in various forms, but have also seen some positive reviews for BubbleUPnP …

I’m doing a Bridge II + Bubble UPNP + Minimserver + Lumin app + NAS DS218+. It’s solid.

Here are my initial impressions of the setup I chose. Qobuz streaming to Bridge II using both mConnect on iPhone and BubbleUPnP on Fire tablet. The mConnect isn’t bad so far. The only misbehavior noticed is that pausing playback and allowing the phone to lock or app to close causes you to lose the …
