SOtM player?

First off I ain’t paying for A varna when foobar is free. As far as the SOtM it took about an hour to get it to play 5 minutes then disconnect. I got a prepaid label and sent it back.
Better than the ultraRendu I tried next. Hours spent for no play at all. The only one that even tried to help at SGC was the sales lady.
I’m trying Metrum and Pro-Ject next.
Told that they both work with Qobuz/Tidal.
Phone control only.

I use Jriver on a pc and the sms-200 ultra as a dlna device.  Then I use Jremote as the remote app.  I have this working for 5 years now.  It's pretty bullet proof until iOS has an update.  Might be the same issue with android.  I play on any iPad, IPhone.

I don't understand what the pc is for.
A streamer should work fine without a second computer. I have 4 that do.

He’s using JRiver Media Center (for 5 years) is why he’s got the PC.
