itm, I plan on using a max2play Raspberry Pi system (see max2play.com). Depending on your audio capabilities your mileage may vary. I currently use this exact system as my primary LMS at home. It uses a HiFiBerry Digi+ addon card for the Pi3 that provides digital out to my AV receiver and I connect the Pi3 to my NAS (I also have the HiFiBerry addon card that provides RCA output not currently in use). But, I've had the NAS only a week and before that I had a USB3 1.5Tb drive connected to the Pi3. My collection is 50k+ tracks so I know this can work for you.
As I plan my retirement life I am also looking for how I can use this system on the road. I'm going the "travel" route and most likely in an Airstream Travel Trailer. They come with integrated audio using marine/auto systems like - http://clarion.com/us/en/products-personal/audio/CZ305/index.html That system has AUX in so I can either use a RCA-to-1/4" jack cable (from the HiFeBerry card) or the 1/4" jack output of the Pi3. That gets me audio. The best way I can think of to control it, is to buy a simple 4-port WiFi router (e.g., https://www.target.com/p/netgear-n300-wifi-router-wnr2000/-/A-14092270?sid=2765S&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Electronics+Shopping_Local&adgroup=SC_Electronics&LID=700000001170770pgs for $40) and connect the Pi3 to it, which gives me WiFi access via Android apps to the Pi3 and LMS on it (which is also how I do this at home, just using my ATT Uverse router and not a standalone WiFi rounter). For about an extra $50 I'm good to go (not counting the cost of the Airstream :-) and I keep the exact same LMS I currently have.
