Yet for some strange reason the entire media/music library management failures of the DLNA are completely overlooked by just about everyone when it comes to most steaming media players. As frustrating and annoying as SBS/LMS can be when misbehaving (and it does tend to misbehave now and then, just like a small child) it is a pleasure to use when working correctly. To replace my Transporter I would use a Touch feeding a DAC with balanced analog output. And I'd still get to use the LMS ecosystem, which by the way, is essential for a large (over 100,000 tracks) music library.
