I am on the search for a DLNA server AND controller.
I have a Windows 7 x64 ultimate PC with 6 core i7 980 CPU 12 GB ram and 24 TB of RAID 6 storage on a LSI controller for all my media. The system also has a SSD for the OS and a 600 GB WD Veloceraptor for all the rest
Another PC plays the media controller. It is a core I 3 with OS on SSD and 8 GB ram and also windows 7 ultimate. It plays my movies (using the Windows Media center with ARCSOFT total media theater connected to my ONKYO PR-SC5507. It has also 24” double touch screen.
All my audio (that is what it is all about here) has to be send to my new DLNA PS audio DAC with Network Bridge. For that I need a controller (which as I understand your product does not include).
I installed the trail version of your product but now I need a DLNA controller to use it , without one it is like a car without a magnificent powerful engine but without a steering wheel!
What DLNA 1.5 compatible controller(s) can you suggest (I love the Windows Media Center GUI on my windows 7 ultimate X64 but the functionality as to DLNA is ridiculous (read none existing) as usual Microsoft did a half job nice UI and that is it.
I hope to receive some useful info from you guys soon for which I will be eternally grateful.

Hello Percy,

That's a very powerful setup you've got there - impressive! We haven't actually thoroughly tested any DMCs with Mezzmo to provide you with a good answer, but I would imagine that any DLNA-compliant (or certified) controller will do the job, so it will come down to the UI I suppose. Also, we plan to have a DMC as part of Mezzmo in the future, so hopefully that'll be done some time next year.
