In addition, I would like to have a macOS and iOS/iPadOS control point with a decent, modern and stable interface. The best solution would be an UPnP server app running on my Mac mini that also would be able to stream TIDAL HiFi (maybe even Amazon Music HD, but there is no API as far as I know). In addition I also have some Sonos speakers in my house which could potentially be managed by UPnP. Devialet Support could not find a working solution to that issue either. Unfortunately, for whatever reason not all devices (no Macs, only iOS devices) see the local Mac mini library (they did, but not anymore). Only that the Spark App is not the most convenient, but we all know that. Spark allowed to stream from my Mac mini and from TIDAL without any additional load on my WiFi. I have a Mac mini connected via Ethernet and optical to my Dialog (Airplay Enabled) playing via PLC to 2x Phantom White (BT but no Airplay).

So what other options do we have? I am looking for some feedback and recommendations. I really liked Roon when I was testing it, but it is still a bit expensive for my taste and not fully supported yet.

As it seems, UPnP is the way to go whether you are on DOS1 or DOS2.
