The player software (squeezelite) running on the CSP processsor (wandboard module) supports a few types natively, these are the "stream types" that can be delivered from LMS to the player. LMS is in charge of converting a much larger array of file types to one of these stream types. LMS can be run on either an external computer or the CSP processor. If you have a NAS you have a choice of running LMS on the NAS or on the CSP. The CSP processor is powerful enough to run LMS better than many NAS boxes. When running LMS on the CSP it's perfectly happy pointing at a NAS on the network for the music files. It's theoretically possible to add a DSD DAC board to a CSP system, but I'm not sure it would fit in the same case. It would also have it's own analog outs. It's not going to happen any time soon, if ever.
