Yes I get your drift, because it's exactly the setup I have. Where you lost me was where you talked about "Netstorage device" that wasn't a NAS. I still don't know what that means, but anyway now you're talking simply about a NAS, and it's very clear.
My slimserver setup: Buffalo LinkStation NAS running slimserver 6.5.1 connected to wireless router, which is connected by wired ethernet to two SB2s and wirelessly to one SB3. The only time a regular computer enters the mix is for ripping and tagging, and copying to the NAS. I had to hack the LinkStation to install slimserver the first time, but since then it has been plug-and-play. It's unfortunate that you didn't read more carefully, or ask, about the QNAP, but as bpa points out, Progressive AV now sells an installation kit that will put slimserver on QNAP TS-101s that are sold without slimserver pre-installed. Whether you go that route or with the Sonos, good luck to you.
