After setup you don't have to interact with Audirvana at all unless something goes awry - it even starts up for you when you launch iTunes. It handles sample rate switching, and can also run AU plugins and has an upsampler. I felt it was better than iTunes standalone. It also now has an iOS remote (although Im not sure if you can use this with iTunes mode, but in any case you have the iTunes remote), and Qobuz integration.
+1 Audirvana would be excellent in this scenario and a clear step up in SQ from iTunes
