Hi Snoopy8,
I'm a complete noob at all this so please bear with me but what you have done looks to be exactly what I need.

When you say you use Bubble to control music from a NAS do you mean your NUC is the NAS as well as the music server and this Bubble contacts this Minimserver?(if that makes sense).

What operating system is running your NUC?

   

UPnP server: I chose MinimServer because it was stable and well supported. It does convolution room correction using its optional module called MinimStreamer.  Note that MinimStreamer will soon move to an initial license fee and annual subscription, a small amount that I will willingly pay.

The NUC can be substituted by a PC running Windows or Linux (many flavours) or a Mac. Or even a NAS.  Yes, it is possible to simplify and have the library and UPnP server in one box. I chose to have 2 separate boxes because I wanted the extra power of the NUC to run convolution.

Also, there are other UPnP server software, including Audirvana, JRiver, Plex, Synology & QNAP media players etc. etc.

UPnP controller: examples include BubbleUPnP, Hificast (both Android) and mConnect (iOS) run on phones and tablets to select and play the music. Some controllers can be used to select & setup streaming services like Tidal, Quboz.
