There are two clear choices right now for digital media software: JRiver and Roon.

JRiver is low cost and very flexible but does not support streaming services like Qobuz and Tidal.

Roon is more expensive but much more capable.

I am running JRiver but will switch to Roon shortly.

I think the best route to go is to use an open source purpose built media server like Silenzio.

Second best are a plethora of purpose built music servers from the likes of NAD, Lumin, Aurrender, Sony, MSB, etc. With these, you are tied to their hardware and software solution forever.
