What software has good sound quality?

I recently configured a pc to play music (cd rips) and movies (blu ray mkv files) from my pc. It is a dell optiplex micro using windows 10 send via usb to a usb to s/pdif converter to my dac (a monarchy audio M24). I am looking for recommendations for software for the best possible sound quality for music and movies. I have tried jriver (sounds warm), mpc hc (sounds punchier with more bass) and foobar (sounds more detailed - and only for music). Any thoughts would be very welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

I compared Roon and Audirvana a while back, but could not make out any difference. Tried hard, but nothing. I am not surprised as either app just sends 0/1s to DAC, just wanted to not-hear it for myself. I like Roon's interface a bit better, so use that.

From MacMini with SSD drive as dedicated Roon server via USB to Holoaudio May L2 DAC.
