Problem

Older Caruso systems still sound good, but modern radio browsing and control can be awkward or broken.

What I built

I built a local UPnP/DLNA bridge with station management, renderer status, and server controls.

Result

The device becomes usable again without replacing the hardware.

Audience

For owners of older T+A Caruso systems that lost comfortable modern radio browsing.
