Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?

I compared the two as I am a lifetime Roon customer.  I prefer the sound of the new Innuos Sense music app.  More natural and less electronic or digital sounding.  Not day and night, but better. My big issue is Innuos Sense does not seem to keep playing music, like Roon, when the album is complete.  Roon had a Radio switch that played artists similar to the artist as a continuous stream and I loved it.  Heard many new artists I loved this way.  
Anyone know if Innuos Sense has a similar setting? I can’t seem to find it.

I have a Zenith MK2 connected to a Matrix X to a DirectStream DAC. While I hate to admit it, I've been asleep at the switch and just tried Sense today. I find Sense SQ smoother and more full bodied than Roon. I really like what I hear.  If the Tidal integration worked and Sense had a multiroom capability, I'd move to it.

I have both Tidal and Qobuz.  The Qobuz integration went without a hitch.  The Tidal integration not so much.  None of my playlists imported directly into Sense.  I can play them from Tidal, but in most cases the individual tracks are not there.  I get a " Playlist is currently empty" message.  That and the lack of a multiroom capability are non-starters for me.

@mahughes While what I do on this site is none of your business, I did read the blog.  If you have Tidal, maybe your Tidal integration worked different than mine. 

There is partial Tidal integration, but not all of my playlists appeared in Sense.  For those that did, sometimes the individual tracks appeared and sometimes not.  When not, I get a "Playlist is currently empty" message.
