Music Rendering & Management Programs - Your Opinions Please


As is probably obvious, from the Mac mini question I have running concurrently, I am in the planning stages of setting up a music server for my reference system in my 'Man Cave'.  I have read numerous articles & adverts on which software performs and sounds best, but I would love to hear real-world opinions on the pro's & con's of those programs from real people who have used them.

I am considering & would like to hear your perspectives on the following...please feel free to toss suggestions for programs I have overlooked.
- Amarra
- Audirvana
- JRiver
- Pure Music

Thanks in advance & a Happy, festive & SAFE New Year to all of you!

I tried them all & like Audirvana+ the best soundwise. Jriver has nicest interface/experience. However, I  can't say my Audirvana experience was a great one. Plenty of bugs with library files ( some of which are "hidden files" on Mac. Drama, stress, where did my files go?, etc. Happy to be off that Crack now ;-) 
Cheers,
