I tried it out last night and think it sounds good.  Better at least than the sound coming straight from the Tidal app on my Mac.  I definitely think it's very cool (it really does feel like browsing through a record store), but I wish they'd change the pricing structure to be monthly instead of a yearly fee.  Regardless, I'm impressed so far and once my trial period is over I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with it.

I ended up deciding that I like Roon enough to subscribe for a year. The authorization scheme is still a pain for switching back and forth between my work and home computers, but not onerous. It's not as robust as jriver, but the library information/management capabilities are just outstanding and the Mac interface isn't half-assed like with jriver.
