Help with streamer software


I ordered a PS Audio streamer, the AirLens, due here this week. PS Audio does not have an app for their streamer, and I am not interested in using Roon. I found a full-featured app called JPlay that works very well for streaming Qobuz to my current Lumin streamer.

My problem is that I listen to a lot of internet radio, and that is not supported by JPlay. TuneIn and other radio apps that I am aware of do not stream directly to higher-end devices. I know I can stream to my ipad and bump that over to the streamer but the quality problems are well known.

Does anyone know of a radio app for iOS that will stream directly to a higher-end DNLA / UPnP streamer? Or is there another way to solve this without getting into the Roon world?

Thanks in advance.

What did PS Audio recommend. They are usually quite helpful and iOS friendly.

The best app I use for appending radio is Volumio that lets you add any Webradio url by allowing you to directly enter any IP like:

http://69.207.160.42:8000/index.html?sid=1

"Add" is in the 3 dots next to My Radio.

PS Audio has a 30 day or better, return policy. Comsider getting a streamer that provides all the functions.

I am a fan of Aurrender, best of class sound quality, with well respected app to control it. I own two, one on the low end and one at the top. Plop it down and your iPad takes over, radio and direct support for Qobuz and Tidal.

I don't have an Airlens, but the specs do say it is DLNA ready. There are lots of apps that support internet radio via DLNA. Perhaps approach it from that angle.

I use Logitech Media Server and it integrates my local collection, internet radio and my Qobuz subscription beautifully. LMS has a UPnP/DLNA plugin available, though I've never used it.

Thanks. I did ask PS A. They are basically counting on Roon to drive the thing. Volumia won't work for me, it requires Raspberry or Windows.

I know Aurender has great software and I might end up there at some point. Currently using Lumin. I have PS A's DSD Mk2 DAC, which I think is superb. I want to try the I2S interface. Aurender is USB like my Lumin.

Yes, DNLA / UPnP, but as I understand it that doesn't necessarily mean it will reside on my iPad and direct the stream to my streamer. Still checking these apps. out. 

I think some of the people are using BubbleUPnp servers with the Airlens.  I see it on my SonicTransport that runs my Roon core.  Been thinking about firing it up and see how it works.
