Gap between tracks

Which devices have you found? I presume you would exclude from your list any devices that achieve gapless play by means other than the standard UPnP service action. Now I think about it, your and my Linn players may come in this category; the documentation for my Akurate DSM indicates that gapless may not be available if the reversionary UPnP AV source is used, rather than the standard Playlist (which presumably uses Linn's OpenHome protocol).

We are also bedevilled by changing and sometimes ambiguous specifications. For instance, a post in the thread to which you linked indicates that the Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 lacks the gapless capability, but the specification on the Cambridge Audio states without qualification that this device does play gapless. The thread is well over a year old and there may have been a firmware update in the meantime, so it is not necessarily the case that the posted advice was incorrect at the time.
