Amarra Player vs Tidal Streaming

Gents;

I generally play Tidal streaming
but, I also have a couple 1000 cd's on iTunes and using Amarra 3.0 player on a Mac

I've just noticed how " dull" Amarra sounds to me compared to Tidal 

I also compared a HDtrack 24/96 same songs compared to the Tidal streaming.
The sound profile is still dull.

How do Audioirvana, JRiver or Roon sound to you guys vs Tidal?
Is there a best one for SQ?  ( probably the biggest $$$)
Anybody compared them?

Is there some setting I need to change
I continue to read how analog Armarra sounds on blogs!

Tidal is great to me
