Alternative to JRiver for PS Audio PWD II with bridge and Mac Mini

I am still trying to get the simplest Mac mini music server to feed the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC II with bridge. I don't like JRiver. Do I have any better player options that will work?  I will need one with a well designed iOS remote control app to control the music via iPhone or iPad as I will not have a display connected to the Mac mini regularly.

Give the Roon free trial a go. It's well-behaved on my Mac Mini and it doesn't modify your files. Don't like it? It's easily removed.

It's a subscription, but in this penny-pincher's opinion, well worth it.

Your setup is a bit more complex than mine so expect a setup question or three to arise but you'll find Roon support via the Roon Community Forum an excellent source for answers.

My music library is connected to Roon. I am not. ;)

Not sure about the bridge but I know Roon is operating on a lot of Macs/PsAudio Dacs.
