No, Schiit does not supply control software.
There are number of ways of providing content from music files stored on hard drives: JRiver, Audirvana, etc. But the one that many folks find the best now is Roon. Roon has superb metadata and lets your play files from your HD, Tidal or Qobuz in a Radio mode that plays related content. Great way to discover new music. The most recent update to Roon added 44 Gbytes of metadata to the database.
And you can run a Roon Core on a number of devices, a laptop, computer, Intel NUC using ROCK (Roon OS Core Kit), or the Roon Server (which is a re-skinned Intel NUC). I use a Mac Mini; it works very well, too. If you get something like the Innuous Zen streamers you can run the Roon Core right on the streamer.
