Those with DATs, how do you view and select your music?

I have my music collection ripped in lossless flac format. My music collection amounts to about 54,000 songs from 4,000 CDs.  Music is stored on USB hard drives.   I could pull the music from my NASs but my Oppo 105d optical drive/DAT much prefers local storage over network sources.

 

The Oppo shows the hard drive directory structure on my TV where I can see and select whatever I want to listen to. The Oppo feeds the preamp, which feeds power amp which feeds the speakers. I don’t need or use music server software.

 I see preamps with USB ports for iPhones and the like. If I can use my Oppo remote to select and play music using a 65” screen why would I want a 3’ usb cable to iPhone?

Those with DATs, how do you view and select your music?

Is there a smarter way to do this?

Roon. The Roon server connects to the USB port. The Roon connects to the NAS over your network, feeds the DAC that feeds the system. 
The Roon software lets you choose music and multiple destinations from either you NAS or streaming services. Nice software, too.
