Hi John. Welcome to AOS.

Tell us what music you like.

Vintage Quad gear and JR149 speakers are popular here. If you are doing refurbs there are good people you can talk to if you want tips.

Projects are always of interest and the Drawing Board section is dedicated to them. You could post what you're doing there if you'd like. It would be appreciated.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi John,
I just signed up, and one thing on my mind was whether the Raumfeld Connector is any good as a DLNA renderer. I know it is very good quality hardware with lots of functionality including "play to" DLNA streaming. What teufel seem a bit cagey about is whether it supports (and will continue to support) gapless playback in this context. I have loads of live/classical recordings where it is painful to have a 2 second silence in the middle of a performance.

I use Foobar2000 as a renderer on an old laptop, with the UPnP plugin, which is fine for gapless DLNA, but it is a bit of a clumsy solution, which I would like to replace and there is a good offer on the Raumfeld which I can take up.

Wondered how you used the Raumfeld - proprietary software or third party UPnP, and have you tested the gaplessness?
