Thank you for the reply.
Yes you have read it correct, and the idea of a NAS, is of consideration, as I have a lot of FLAC Music Files,
as well as 100's of 30MP photograph files on my Laptop that I need back up for a safe storage as well.
Hence my holding off on streaming, while I get to grips with this method being discussed.
When this is in order, I will then venture into Streaming, and will hopefully have had a little hands on experience by then.
The question in my mind following your reply, is from the NAS a router is suggested, does a router have a effect on the SQ when being used with music files.
