Any boffins around? Recent convert to streaming and more than happy so far. However a couple of questions! I'm running a Naim ND5 XS with a Naim 5i, Tidal and over my BT hub. I've tried using EyeConnnect but gave up as no artwork on the Naim app, gave PLEX a go but it only imported about two thirds of my iTunes library properly (no playlists, popular albums bizarrely listed as unknown artist) so now I'm tempted by dppoweramp as my uPnP. As I understand it, db won't import my iTunes library, I have to re-rip everything to my Mac or NAS which whilst it's a pain, isn't the end of the world. That said, I have a couple of epic playlists that I want to keep, will db support playlists? Also, I've bought a few tracks off iTunes, will I be able to get those over as well? Any help appreciated!

Does it support AirPlay ? If not you could get an airport express and plug it into the digital input. That way you can stream your music from iTunes?

It's one of the reasons I do everything from a HTPC connected via HDMI to my AV receiver. So much easier for managing movie and music.

Unfortunately it doesn't support AirPlay. Interesting idea about AE though, I have an old one kicking around so might see if I can rig something up.
