About Asset UPnP
Asset is a UPnP server built for audio only, from the makers of dbPowerAmp. It serves a music library from a computer or NAS to network players, with a customisable browse tree, searches by composer, conductor or style, dynamic playlists, internet radio and a jukebox mode.
It can transcode to WAV, LPCM or MP3 for players that lack format support, handles DSD, applies ReplayGain, and on Windows can capture PC sound output and stream it. Builds exist for Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, QNAP and Synology.
