Roon vs the world (streaming software)


I have compared Roon to the lumin app so far and found lumin app layout and playlist management really frustrating. Not to mention minimserver and the lumin app need to scan all your music while roon its just automatically populates. Also to save a file or album to a playlist you have to load the play list first. So many little annoyances. What software are you running if you are streaming? Can anyone compete with roon?
I am in my 3rd year of annual roon membership and I didn’t want to have to go to lifetime as its really pricey ($700 USD). But at this time I don’t think I have a choice.

I just downloaded Roon and Audirvana the other day.  I have say the Roon GUI is much better and it's easier to get things done.  However, the sound is better with Audirvana.  I never thought I'd be able to notice something like that but I can definitely tell.  I want to keep Roon but having sound that isn't is good is sort of bothersome....
I just moved my DAC to a Raspberry Pi endpoint and I believe, (could be in my head) that it sounds better. Time to AB with Audirvana. 

I'll look up Auralic.
