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

I’m also keep to hear how Tidal compares to audiophile cd’s ripped to JRiver? Though I note you can also listen to Tidal though Jriver - https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/WDM_Driver Apropos the above, does anyone know if Roon be linked to Jriver?

I will one day add a high end server/streamer linked to my Vitus’s excellent dac & rip my library (hence adding a better media player such as JRiver). Ultimately I could see myself listening to a mix of cd's, rips, streamed albums via Tidal & internet radio for background listening.
