UPnP /OpenHome Audio Library Server and Renderer
The Gamma Music Server supports the UPnP/OpenHome audio streaming standards and has a built-in
UPnP audio library server. Playback can be controlled remotely with an app from an iPad, iPhone,
Android device, PC or Mac. Popular control apps include Bubble UPnP and Hi-Fi Cast for Android devices
and MconnectHD, Kazoo, Lumin and others for iPads and iPhones. There are many other third-party
UPnP /OpenHome control apps. The ones listed here are tested with the Gamma Music Server and
support all high-resolution formats and sampling rates up to DSD512 for stereo and multichannel
sources.
The exaSound Gamma can serve a double duty as UPnP server and player/renderer when a DAC is
attached via USB.
