I've got a Melco music server now (new Mk2 model) feeding my Schiit DAC, and it sounds great.
But I'm using Linn Kinsky and don't like it. It crashes constantly (on my Mac laptop) and the interface is poor for playing whole albums, which is all I ever do.
What do people like, so I don't have to try them all?

Kinksy has been replaced by Kazoo. Give it a try.

Am upgrading my laptop to Sierra right now so I can run it.
Kinsky crashes like mad on me and has many quirks such as stopping play for no reason and not showing play time. I hope the new one is better.
Seriously, though, it's really stupid Melco has not released their own app yet.

The link refers to a HiFiNews review of the Melco.
Yes, paper based posters who regard Melco and HifiNews and low end just add fuel from the disinformation brigade.
I don't know what model you're running but here's a review excerpt from AudioStream that mentions a control point. I run Roon. Others may offer more options for you."Let's talk a bit more about the different modes of operation before we get into the listening. If you plan to use the N1A as a server with internal storage connected to your USB DAC, the company recommends PlugPlayer for iOS devices as the control point/control app. Of course, I wish the N1A was Roon'd so I'll keep my fingers crossed on that count. PlugPlayer, like every other cheap or free app, offers serviceable performance and features, imo. It does the job, albeit in a down and dirty way especially when you've been spoiled by Roon."

I use a Macbook, not an iOS device.
I'm looking for someone with feedback from actual use. I've read the reviews too.
