Playing with Qobuz a bit more I found that gapless playback through mconnect is spotty at best (Airlens gapless playback was checked). In most cases it’s probably not an issue but, in those moments that mattered, it sure was a buzz kill.
OTOH Jplay gapless worked very well. In my limited experience it was glitchy in other ways but it might be a good, lower cost, and less complicated alternative to Roon or jriver.
