Current quality of Rune

I did some searching and didn't find any recent posts about Roon. I want to try streaming with my new dac which is made to work with Roon. 

I'm able to stream with Audivarna which I had used previously. It sounds good, but there is a glitch that causes loud static when switching songs. After lots of Googling, I've failed to come up with a fix. 

I'll do the free trial and try Roon, but I wanted to get people's opinion on Roon. I've read that the interface is one of the best. Is it reliable? Good sound quality?  I've read that Audivarna sounds better, but those could be old comments.

I’ve been into computer based audio for over 15 years. I’ve tried pretty much all the software during that time; Pure Music (Channel D), Audirvana, JRiver, Bit Perfect, Roon, and probably others that I’ve since forgotten.

Based on my experiences, I purchased a lifetime Roon subscription when I first became available.

I periodically try other programs, but always come back to Roon for its sound quality, ease of use, and integration with Qobuz and HQ Player.

Apologies if I missed it, but how are you controlling volume?

Thanks. If you were using the digital volume control in Roon, I thought that might be contributing to the "softness" you're experiencing. Clearly not the case.
