Just looking through the docs to see if the Nano renderer does actually have the OpenHome extensions. I can't see any mention of it which is a little disappointing. It doesn't bother me particularly as I'd use BubbleUPNP Server to provide this (which is literally a 5 minute setup which requires no ongoing maintenance once installed, if your NAS or device is supported) but the extra layer of faff isn't to everyone's taste.
[edit] The other drawback with UPnP even with extensions is poor seek ability (i.e fast forward/reverse) but I've yet to see any streaming protocol that implements this well, such as a CD player would (and that can be a bit iffy too).
