Hey Jimmy I know it's a small sample size (one user) but nonetheless this proves my point - namely that DLNA is a dog. In fact even you (as quoted above) recognize that Audiotic is using the Marantz as a DAC with the SB Touch doing the actual streaming. But you don't have to spend lots of money to see how truly useless DLNA is, just buy an inexpensive media player or network enabled DVD/Blu-ray player and try to get it to work. I suggest that you also buy a very large bottle of Excedrin to help with monster headache trying to get DLNA to work will bring on. Good luck!
