IIRC The ReadyNAS processor is a custom processor which does not not
floating point support so decode AAC and re-encode into Flac is going
to be hard work for it. But I don't have a ReadyNAS and other user
should add their real life experience as to whether it adds any
significant delays.

Regarding AAC support - unlike a Roku which just gets data from a file
server.  Squeezebox playback depends on a SqueezeCenter for music and
display so whether AAC support is in SC or SBR is irrelevant as you
need both an SC and a player (i.e. SBR) to play music.  
The issue of "native" formats is really only significant when using
Squeezenetwork and AAC is only used in very few streams and so it is
not significant in terms of sites that cannot be played.

Back to your problem - you should try Server & Network Health under
"Help" and see if the Network test and perf monitoring can point to a
problem area.
