I actually use boring old Linn Kinsky as that's what I'm used to! It doesn't cache anything and I quite like that, one less complication - though it doesn't look too pretty. The Lumin app is probably a lot faster as it maintains its own index of stuff. I may give it a try. The Melco should work with pretty much any control point.
The Melco is super-stable and works much better than the MiND 180 with the usual control points (I don't like the MiND 180 app at all and not sure if it's improved over the last year since I last used it?). You have to remember to set the playback 'mode' to 1 to enable Openhome otherwise it's vanilla UPnP.
My only small criticism of the Melco so far is gapless playback - even with Openhome enabled there's a small (around 0.25sec) gap between tracks.
