Unfortunatly I've found another issue with the Lumin U1 :-(.

Music with a samplerate of 96 kHz ist not played. Instead just white 
noice comes out of the speakers :-(. All other sample rates cause no 
problem.

If I play material with 96 kHz via the Lumin app itself its causing no 
problem.

So IMHO there must be still something wrong with the UPnP bridge 
configuration and the options I've set. Do you have any idea what is 
going on there and why only one sample rate causes problems, while all 
other do not?

Cheers and thanks again,

  Schoepp
