Hi Dane I know where you're coming from. A couple of weeks ago I had to disconnect my Logitec Transporter from my system as it stopped working. It's over ten years old so owes me nothing even though I paid a thousand quid for it at the time. It's the best sounding streaming player I've ever had. It probably used the same HTML interface as the one you used with your Boom and of course it worked with an iPhone app called Ipeng which I got following a recommendation from yourself.
I've just replaced it with a much cheaper Sonos Connect. It sounds much better than I expected but it can't play HD audio so I've got a small collection of albums I'll actually have to downs ample. Still, the app is very accessible and it gives me access to my Apple Music and Amazon Prime and audio purchases as well as internet radio. I haven't actually scanned my own home collection onto it yet so we'll see. Before that I got a Sonos Player 1 for my bedroom and was so impressed I got a second one to make up a stereo pair. The one big disadvantage with the Sonos range though is it doesn't do AirPlay or even Bluetooth. That means I can't use some of my iPhone audio apps with it. For instance, I have a great audio Relaxation app that can't be played over it. Because it's a multi-room system the temptation is to keep adding to it but I'd like to see the above drawbacks addressed before wading further into the water. It does sound pretty damn good though, especially for the money. That's not to say it's cheap, but it's certainly not the most expensive system of it's type.
