DLNA Speaker Options

[artishard116]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe DLNA streaming was added in a recent update? This should make it possible to stream from a WiiM device to a wider range of wifi enabled speakers (compared to only linkplay compatible ones). Does anyone have this working and can recommend speakers that can be grouped for whole house audio? Mainly looking for single speakers for bathroom, kitchen, etc.
