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?

I may have mean DAC?  My mistake. Mea Culpa.

Oppo have of course put extra effort in the sound of the 105 model. It has two ESS Sabre32 Reference Audio-digital converters, 7.1 outputs and a stereo output. Both use a 32-bit Hyper Stream DAC topology that is said to provide a wider dynamic range and minimize both jitter and distortion. There is both balanced and unbalanced dedicated analog stereo output and digital outputs in the form of RCA and Toslink.
