The streaming clients of Linn (linn.co.uk) were amongst the first devices to provide best sonic experiences in UPNP and streaming via the internet - they have a huge reputation in the HiFi and HighEnd community.
Currently, their line of DS and DSM streaming clients support Spotify, Qobuz, Roon and Tidal. As a premium subscriber of Deezer, I would consider changing to Deezer HiFi, if a proper integration with Linn is possible - just like Qobuz for example, where I can browse their streaming catalog from within the device's app (up to 192/24) and - most important - directly add to the playlist. Once the playlist is populated via the native Linn App, I do not need any active computer, smartphone or tablet, the Linn clients play the music directly from the connected servers.
Of course, there is the workaround to use Airplay from my iPhone's Deezer app. This does not make sense for two reasons:
a.) the iPhone/iPad/Computer must stay active
b.) this degrades the sound quality, since the streaming client is synchronised to the iPhone’s clock rather than synchronising the stream to Linn’s extremely high stable internal clock, which is used, when streaming from Qobuz or my UPNP-servers.
So, do you see any chance of natively supporting the streaming clients of LINN?
