I have been using JRiver on a PC since 2019 streaming Tidal to JRriver through the WDM Driver.
I would like to use JRiver on a new iMac the same way:
- But are there any ways to stream Tidal through JRiver on a Mac?
My setup using the PC: I use Tidal to access music in Master quality. I use JRiver Convolution to use filters made by Acourate Pro. I use Acourate Pro to make 6-way crossovers and room correction filters. I use Lynx Hilo DAC to play 6 channels to my loudspeakers (Martin Logan Monolith IIIX + subwoofer).

The WDM driver is Windows only.

I am aware that the WDM Driver is for Windows only.
What I am looking for is an alternative way to do this on a Mac - if possible at all.

Unfortunately, there isn't WDM driver-like solution for Mac. The *only* way I could think of is maybe if Macs still supported Boot Camp and Windows could be dual booted alongside macOS, but with Apple Silicon Macs that's gone away.
Another alternative would be using virtualization like Parallels, but the downside is you'd a) have to install Windows in a virtual machine and b) install and use Media Center along with the Tidal app through the Windows virtual machine which could potentially create its own issues doing it, so not really the ideal solution either.

Thank you very much.
I can see that I (unfortunately) need to look for alternatives to JRiver, like e.g. Roon.
