If there is any advantage to running JRiver and volumio together, would installing JRiver on my main PC to organize my files on the NAS and to pick the correct file to send to volumio be a good use of all components involved? Would i use the Gizmo App to control all of this if not at my computer or would i use the Volumio ap? My fist question is: Why? It seems (to my ignorant but wanting to learn more self) that Volumio can pull the files off a server? (NAS or PC) on its own and send the 0s and 1s to a DAC without the aid of additional software. I have read that some folks use JRiver MC in conjunction with Volumio.

I am contemplating getting the new Raspberry Pi2 and an IQaudIO DAC and running Volumio to 'pull' music from either a NAS and/or from a separate pc.
