You have to be able to install the SqueezeCenter (SC) software, which requires root shell access or an installer from a third party. SC can run on a wide range of NASs, with an equally wide range of ease/difficulty installing it. And some NASs are simply locked down too tightly to permit installation of SC software.
Also, be sure the NAS has adequate RAM (128MB is an absolute minimum) and processor. I have run SC on a Buffalo LinkStation HG (128MB and 266MHz PowerPC processor) and a LinkStation Pro (128MB and 400MHz ARM processor). Installation was somewhat challenging. The streaming was excellent, but the SC web interface was rather slow, as was scanning the music library. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.
