I was primarily interested in the headphone/desktop listening test last night so I focused on that.

That is because it works with local/computer devices as well as anything over the UPnP interface. I fired it up after downloading and it recognized my desktop USB DAC as well as the OPPO player and my downstairs LG TV. Last night I was watching episode on the saxophone players which was interesting. What Tidal app does offer is the MUSIC and DOCUMENTARY VIDEO aspect that is pretty cool and I do watch the various video content. Tidal desktop app is also easy enough to use but once again, not to Roon standards. It is elegant enough but not quite to the Roon standard with Roon's incredible library approach of sorting and storing music in various folders that are easy to navigate to and logically sort music virtually any way you like to sort it. Qobuz app I generally like, nothing really to complain about. With Roon, the occasional hiccup I have with it, is that my USB connection to my desktop DAC can occasionally be buggered up by the background computer activities and manifests itself as background digital noise once in a while for a short period of time. The Roon RAAT (over wifi) is the Roon preferred interface from what I understand. My main system is Roon core on my Windows PC through the RAAT (roon advanced audio transport) to Bryston BDP PI streamer and on to my Luxman DAC via S/PDIF.

I typically use Roon but also listen on the Qobuz and Tidal desktop apps while listening to headphones behind the computer.

Decided to download Audirvana platform for my Windows 10 PC on a 30 day trial to evaluate what if any benefit can be derived from it.
