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 gave up on Roon and was using iPeng because Roon just sounds bad.  So I am a happy camper as Sense is way way better than iPeng as a control app.

But more that that, Sense also sounds way better than iPeng.  I would easily equate the noise reduction of Sense to more than several thousand dollars and its free!!!

I just discovered off-line mode today, the benefit was at first subtle to me but now I recognize it and the effect is huge.  It just killed a barely perceptible  high frequency background layer in the music.

I won't go so far as to say it sounds analog but I think for the first time my systems sound leans more to analog than digital.  Its just dreamy and relaxing. 

With Roon it always had that digital edge.  Anyone using Experimental mode knows what effect Roon has.  iPeng was better than Experimental mode and Sense is better than iPeng and off-line mode takes Sense to another level.

Two points,
1. musicmann1- there are posts on this on various forums but I remember setting the Innuos to experimental mode and then in Roon selecting squeezlite  or squeezebox option.
2. Just downloaded 2.0.7- am I imagining Tidal sounds better?
