I do have a UPNP server (Jriver running on a computer in another room) and taht does sound great streaming to Moode. However the convenience of streaming services and music discovery is too big...
For now I switched to using Tidal which sounds better (to my ears) than Apple Music on Airplay to the Moode. Frankly I'd be happy with proper lossless 44.1/16 and I really feel like it's just Apple music that downgrades the sound, I also tried Amazon Music and that too sounds better on Air play.
The Oldpresbyope is right, you can use streaming services like tidal qobuz or others with uPnp (LMS handle this).
Discovery is not mandatory in that context, upnp renderer can receive the stream.
Works also with web radio streams.
upnp has 5 main layouts, not all are necessary at a time
With LMS you can integrate Tidal but also your itunes library
Moode can also be set as squeezelite renderer for a full integration with LMS if you are not satisfied with upnp
My LMS is hosted on a docker container on a Synology NAS
