Recently acquired a Lumin D1 and pleased with the audio quality, but the iPad interface is fairly basic
I read (here somewhere) instructions how to configure JR to communicate with a Lumin, but the last part - achieving an audio output, has eluded me
The PC is running Windows 10 and it and the Lumin are on the same wired network
So far:
Configured DLNA server to Audiophile 24-bit DAC.
Audio format: PCM L15 no header
And that is it.
Is there a further step, or steps to take?
Should the Lumin be able to view the shared folder "Music" on the hard drive of the PC?
Does JR require any further steps
Thank you

Looks like it supports UPnP.
It should just show up as a remote zone in MC under Playing Now.
Depending on your material collection you are probably best off setting your MC DLNA server to Original Format since it appears to play most anything.

It sounds like you have already set up the basic configuration for the Lumin D1 and the PC to communicate via DLNA. To achieve audio output, there are a few additional steps you can take:
Make sure that the Lumin D1 is able to view the shared folder "Music" on the hard drive of the PC. This can usually be done by going into the settings on the Lumin and adding the shared folder as a source.
Check the audio settings on the Lumin to ensure that it is set to output PCM L15 no header. This can usually be found in the audio settings or in the settings for the DLNA server.
Check the audio settings on the PC to ensure that it is set to output PCM L15 no header as well. This can usually be found in the audio settings of the media player you are using.
If you are still having trouble, try using a different media player on the PC to see if that resolves the issue. Some media players may have better compatibility with the Lumin D1 than others.
Lastly, check for any updates to the Lumin D1 and PC software. This could also be a potential solution, as software updates can fix bugs and improve compatibility.
JR should not require any further steps. As long as the Lumin and the PC are able to communicate and the audio settings are correctly configured, JR should be able to access and play the music stored on the PC.

It makes an analysis of the capabilities of the Lumin and gives you a recommended list of settings for MC that best fits to the Lumin.
