Thoughts on JRiver Media Center? Anyone using it?


If not, Why not? I know it was popular at one time but I see little talk about it here. Has it fallen out of favor? Thanks for your help

I too still use JRiver. Great for my large catalog of WAV, CDA, FLAC, HDCD, DSD, DSF. UPDATED frequently and not very expensive. A+!
Both Tidal and Qobuz can be played inside Roon, I feel that Qobuz sound a bit better than Tidal, but Tidal’s integration with Roon is a little bit better.
You have a great system. I recommend a high quality streamer. This will get you sound commiserate with the rest of your system. PC / notebooks are too noisy, not built for high quality sound. Like all audio components, you generally get the sound quality you pay for.

Also, if an nearby Ethernet connection is a problem, just get a wall wart wifi extender and plug in behind your system and run an Ethernet cable into that. 
I have both Room and JRiver on my Wolf Audio Luna R server and I prefer the sound quality of  Room for playback of ripped cd's and have compared numerous times with the same files.  You might find different results in your system.
