We are a dealer with many years of experience with digital audio.
We have used both Roon and Jriver. Both programs can be used on the same machine and are both useful for different reasons. Roon and Jriver both can run on a Mac or PC. Roon can be installed on certain Nas drives as well.
Ideally if you want to get the most out of your dac you will invest in a proper server as a real server sounds dramatically better than a laptop or standarad PC. We have tested Aurender, Sotm, Innous, and Baetis vs standard latops and modified PC's even ones with modified power supplies and the dedicated servers have so far produced dramaically better sound
We use Jriver for editing, and for ripping.
We use Roon for its superior music surfing, Tidal integration and graphical interface.
Roon integrates beautifully with Tidal and HQ player is supposed to take Roon's sound quality even higher.
