Best DLNA setup

Hello All -
I'm trying to figure out the most reliable way to run the following setup:
-PC in the office holds the library
-Music is all stored on a NAS
-Using a windows tablet running media center as a controller
-Stream this to my receiver in the living room (ideally optical or coax)

Currently I am doing the above by running BubbleUPnP on the NAS and streaming to a Chromecast Audio
Unfortunately this just hasn't been reliable to the degree that it really isn't working at all for me again (despite making no changes):

Any help there would be awesome :)

Anyway, is there something I need to purchase or download that could make this work as it should?  I also have Plex and it simply always works in terms of actually playing music.  I really don't like Plex for many other reasons though.


Version 27 related - From my scanning of the notes there doesn't seem to be any type of improvement that would help me from the current version 25 I am running?  This in terms of fixing my streaming woahs


Thanks much for reading  :)

JimH:
Use MC on the PC to import files.  Make sure you can play to the receiver.  Audio Setup topic on the wiki.

Control with any of the JRiver Remotes.  See the wiki for the choices.  Panel would be the easiest to set up, just to test.

Does that work?

Have you tried moving Bubble from the NAS to the MC server?

I have not.  Before I try it I'm curious what you think the difference would be?
What kills me about my current setup is that everything was running great for a number of months.  All of a sudden it's not even usable.


@JimH - Playing to the receiver reliably is ultimately my issue so I'm wondering if there is a device/software combo that simply always works.  Ideally I would like to use my windows tablet running another instance of media center.  I just prefer the aesthetic much more than the android offerings. 
I was living this dream not too long ago so I'll hopefully be able to find the culprit

When I used Bubble I would sometimes have to restart either Bubble or MC to get things working. When they're both running on the same machine it's easier to make sure they restart at the same time.
