Seems a bit difficult to discuss the pros and cons of AirPlay and DLNA or AirPlay vs DLNA when you have
no experience with either 😠

As I said, all I was talking about was why we are not going to see an open Playmaker from B&O. It is you who keep wanting to discuss AirPlay vs. DLNA, not me.

The quotations were from your posts!

"Sounds dumb, but there's good reasons for doing this. Ever wanted to use your B&O as an alarm clock? Not a hard function to add if the Playmaker was open. Graphic equalizer that you drive from a web browser? Certainly possible. Volume limiter for the kids? Can-do. The point of open source is that you can get good and cosy with your technology"

Why misuse a Playmaker for that - a Raspberry Pi can do that and much more.

Misuse is in the eye of the beholder... A nice high quality D/A with networking features is whatever I tell it to be, if the software is open.

Of course they were, and out of the main context. For the second time, I didn't enter this thread to discuss Airplay vs. DLNA. Can I now go away?

You don't have to ask me that question.
