What's wrong with UPnP?

I think you’re being a little disingenuous to Songcast / Linn here. The idea is that my primary source (A Linn Klimax DS/1) has quite a good clock thank you, and my lesser receivers (in other rooms in the house - a selection of Linn Sneaky DS’s) can take advantage of that.

I agree that I can’t play DSD, but I’ve never found that a sound quality issue.
