I am planning on purchasing a Linn Selekt early next year and I want to connect to a QNAP NAS which I will also be purchasing. The NAS will be replacing a USB hard drive and the Selekt will be replacing my Mac Mini and my current MF DAC and the spdif converter or whatever it is.

I want to continue using JRiver Media Center, as I have gotten used to it and I like what it does

The Linn Selekt is a streamer/DAC  or streamer/DAC/amplifier depending upon the version.  You no longer use a computer to play your music, that is what the streamer does . So you don't ( can't) use JRMC. Instead you use the Linn control app ( Kazoo) on a computer or, more conveniently on a  handheld device like a tablet or smart phone, to navigate the music library held on your NAS  and to access streaming services such as Qobuz or Tidal and internet radio.
