Re: HEOS support?

You should be able to get any UPnP AV/DLNA renderer to work, but you might have to make your own renderer configuration file for that renderer. UMS comes with a number of existing renderer configuration files for devices where somebody have already done the work, but that doesn't mean that you're limited to those. That said, you must be prepared to do some reading and searching to figure out how to make a new one.
The easiest route is usually to start with an existing configuration that is "somewhat close" to the device you wish to support, and then edit that one until it works satisfactory. You will need to configure which format/codec configurations the device supports over DLNA (which might not be the same as what it supports over e.g USB), so I consider it essential that the manufacturer specifies this in the manual. If not, you will have to just test what works and what doesn't, and that can be quite a tedious and time consuming affair.
