LinTech AirLino Plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth multiroom receiver review

A multiroom receiver with an unusually long protocol list — AirPlay, DLNA, UPnP and NAS playback — which is what lets it fit into a network that already exists.

In brief

The protocol list is the product — DLNA, UPnP and AirPlay together, for a network that already holds the music. Key figures: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth · AirPlay · DLNA · UPnP · internet radio · NAS playback · optical and 3.5 mm outputs. It is a European model with no Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026. Our score: 7.2/10, specification-checked.

What separates it from the rest of this shelf

Protocols. AirPlay, DLNA and UPnP, with NAS playback stated. That is the list for a household whose music lives on a drive rather than in a service, and it is a different proposition from a streamer built around Spotify.

Why that matters

A subscription service can change its terms, remove an album or withdraw an app. A network drive does none of that. A receiver that speaks DLNA and UPnP keeps a collection playable regardless of what happens to the services.

The outputs

Optical and analog. The first goes into anything modern; the second into anything at all. Note that the analog output is 3.5 mm rather than RCA, which means an adapter cable for most amplifiers.

The limitation to know about

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, as stated. In a congested household that band is slower and busier, which matters more for high-resolution files from a NAS than for internet radio.

Where it belongs

Behind an existing amplifier, on a network with a drive. It is the least fashionable product on this shelf and the most useful one for that particular household.

Buying it in the United States

Not sold on Amazon.com when we checked on October 25, 2026. This is a model of the European catalog: we hold Amazon references for it in Europe only, so the button can only run a search on Amazon.com. Read it as a description of the design, and buy from the list below.

In its favor, and against it

Strengths

  • DLNA and UPnP support, which means it plays from a NAS or a network drive without a cloud service
  • Both optical and analog outputs, so it connects to old and new amplifiers alike
  • AirPlay, which covers every Apple device in a household without an app

Compromises

  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only — no 5 GHz stated, which matters in a congested household
  • No converter named and no sample rate ceiling stated
  • A 3.5 mm analog output rather than RCA, which needs an adapter cable into most amplifiers

What gets asked most

What is DLNA and UPnP good for?

Playing files you own from a network drive without any cloud service. A device that supports them can browse a NAS and stream from it, which is how a music collection stays usable when services change their terms.

Is 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi a problem?

It can be in a busy household: the band is crowded and its throughput is lower. For internet radio and compressed streams it is ample; for high-resolution files from a NAS it is the more likely bottleneck.

Our score

7.2/ 10

The protocol list is the product — DLNA, UPnP and AirPlay together, for a network that already holds the music.

Who should pick this one, among network audio players

A household with music on a network drive, where the streaming should not depend on a subscription service.
