The criteria here was to listen to my music in its native format and original quality, from the capable renderers around my home. I’m not going to score them any different, they all run on the Synology NAS, so they all score 1 point.

I’m using Hi-Fi Cast as the controller (which i highly recommend), running on a wireless android tablet.

For testing, the renderers i will be using are a Yamaha MusicCast stereo, a Sony TV and a Windows PC.

This guide will only address the server component. UPnP/DLNA has three components, the server, the renderer and the controller.

Some of the music servers tested also serve video and photos and fall into the media server category, which is great but I’m only testing their merits on serving audio.įirst some terminology to get your head around. This review has been written by a tech enthusiast, not an audiophile, with my own personal requirements in mind, but since i went to great lengths testing every possible UPnP/DLNA Music Server i could find, i thought you might also benefit from my conclusions.
