BubbleDS Next is a powerful control point that as you gain experience you will find
many more options that you may find useful. The basic directions above will
hopefully get you started. As you get more experience there are close to 100 settings
you can change to make BubbleDS work the way you want it to.
You can also of course alternatively control the CAT by keyboard, mouse and
monitor / television using Windows Kazoo that is installed on the CAT. HDMI and
monitor connections are available on the back of the CAT.
You can also use Linn Kazoo on an iPad to control the CAT. This has not been as
stable as BubbleDS.
You can also use JREMOTE on an iPad to control the CAT. Using JREMOTE does not
use the DLNA server and JPLAY Streamer software. Because of this we feel the sound
quality is not as good. The one advantage of using JREMOTE is you can change the
volume of the DAC from the iPad.
It is crucial that you have a strong wifi signal and a properly setup Network. If you
have intermittent issues with BubbleDS Next the problem is most likely your wifi signal
and/or your network setup. CAD recommends a 5GHz wifi signal placed within the
same room as the CAT. The wifi signal must be very strong. If it is not you will have
random issues.
If you run into any difficulties please purchase a 5GHz wifi router such as the Netgear
R7000. We have had excellent results with this unit. Setup a wifi Network just for controlling
your CAT. Use the 5GHz wifi band. This makes an extremely robust system.
We have had excellent 100% stable results using a Nvidia Shield K1 tablet running
BubbleDS Next and using a Netgear R7000 Wifi Router.
5) Internet connection
CAD recommends on permanent installations that a fixed IP address is set on the
CAT. Here is a link with directions on how to set a fixed IP address :

If you do not set a fixed IP address the CAT and/or the router may change the IP address
of the CAT at random times. Music will stop or stutter when this happens. Setting a fixed
IP address will prevent this from happening.
If you wish to import CDs you must connect the Netgear R7000 to the internet using
the yellow Internet Ethernet Connection shown. If you do not you will not be able to
download album artwork and other Metadata.
