I have no idea why people dislike UPnP so much. I mean, so far the streamer I consider the best I've ever used, usability and functionality wise, is Sonos. And Sonos is basically a UPnP-streamer with some extensions. Mostly those extensions something that has been addressed in OpenHome specs.
As for OpenHome, it is not that new. Linn developed it for it's own streamers and they've been around since 2007. I also don't know what counts as acceptable adoption, but at least Auralic streamers use OpenHome and so does Lumin. At least in some circles all of these brands are considered high end.
But I guess some can see implementing something ready and stable in order to concentrate doing new stuff as a bad thing
