The problem is probably that the NAS for some reason can't downsample
from 96kHz to lower sample rates. The older server might not do it at
all and for the newer one the NAS might not be powerful enough.
The Squeezebox Touch (and iPeng, that's why it worked for you there,
too) can use 96kHz material directly, the Squeezebox does also play it
natively; with iPeng it depends on what hardware it runs on and whether
or not you use a USB dock; iPhones can only do 44.1/16 so iOS
downsamples but still the server doesn't have to do it..

SqueezePlay, however, is limited to 48kHz, probably to make it
compatible with more platforms. Although I haven't tried it, I believe
the software itself should be able to do more than 48kHz so maybe it
would be worth a try to patch SqueezePlay to accept 96kHz streams but I
have NO idea what a PC/Linux audio driver would make out of that.
