The core apps on Silenzio are still "running" but only one initiates playback at any given time (from your own finger on your iOS device), thus allowing Exclusive Mode over your USB Sound Device (like your Devialet). You'd simply stop playback on one then start playback on another via the remote app (Spotify iOS or JRemote or Roon iOS, depending on your flavor of choice).
And yes, there are several ways to control Silenzio as if you were directly looking at the desktop. You'd use this during the ripping and whatever support would be required.
