App/Player for Bricasti DACs?

I am interested in the Bricasti M3 DAC.

I stream Tidal, Qobuz and TuneIn with a Linn Majik DSM into a Pass Labs pre and amp. I mainly use the Linn Kazoo app/player and Roon. I have also tried the newer Linn app and the Lumin app. All work.

What apps/players are Bricasti DAC owners using? Do you prefer the Bricasti network card or using a seperate standalone streamer?

Thanks!

Hi,  I am the OP here.

Just to be clear: I don’t own a Bricasti. I was curious about what software options there were for controlling a Bricasti. The feedback I received was that most UPNP players should work. 
In the end I purchased a used Linn Akurate DS. It is sitting with my dealer waiting for the major Linn Katalyst upgrade to arrive from Scotland which will give me a fresh 5 year warranty...

I have read some stunning reviews about the Bricasti hardware and sound quality. I am interested.
But I have found very little info about the UI options for selecting streaming services and picking music? Having TuneIn is a must for me as I enjoy regular radio shows. With the Linn Kazoo app you can create shortcut “Pins” to favorite feeds, artists, playlists and TuneIn radio stations. I am a Roon subscriber but I never want to be 100% reliant on Roon. So, having some solid UI app is a big part of this picture.
Some streaming hardware options lets you use apps from other manufacturers. You can use Linn hardware with the Lumin app and visa versa for example.

If there are solid options for a flexible UI with services and music naviagation with Bricasti then I am very interested as the M3 seems to be be a solid product at this price point.
