Audirvana used to be great, the new version is terribly buggy, although the interface is probably the best there is. There isn't a use that goes by without a crash, stall, unable to find track etc etc I wouldnt advise anyone purchasing it.
I used Audirvana for years, but Roon + Qobuz won me over. I know Audrirvana can access Qobuz, but the way Roon does it is in a different league.
I added the J River Media on the list..J River Media Center should be on that list.
If I just wanted to listen to my own music, I would pick J River. But now I am a heavy user of Qobuz so Roon is my preferred player, though I miss some of J Rivers features.
Not sure it quite fits, but Logitech Media Server (opensource and free despite it's name) and Squeezelite works across many platforms and is extremely well supported by it's 'community'.

more options for voting. I’ll have to take something out to include the Squeezelite and MPDGreat point, LMS and Squeezelite are still the best free distributed audio system you could conjure. Only reason I switched is Roon, otherwise I’d still be using it.
Another to add to the poll is mpd which is leveraged by the likes of Volumio
