UPnP CLIENT

UPnP Client
The C446 utilizes UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) client to allow playback of
audio files stored in a home network such as a computer, NAS (network-
attached storage), Apple iOS device or Android phone.
The C 446 browses your UPnP server audio content over the local network.
It includes MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV, and AAC codecs. The computer, NAS
or mobile devices on the network are all potential servers. In order to use
them as such, they each need to be set up to act as a UPnP server.
