UPnP / DLNA Network Streaming

Pure Bit-Perfect Audio & Native DSD
Direct hardware output to your DAC via exclusive ALSA, negotiated with PipeWire so the system never loses the device. No resampling or dither, native DSD on capable DACs and volume handled by the DAC itself. The output selector always shows what really reaches it.
