I'm confused as to what you are trying to do. Logitech Media Server
(LMS) is a *server* feeding music to SB players (e.g., a TOUCH). So at a
minimum you'd need some sort of software SB player installed on the NAS
(like SqueezePlay or SoftSqueeze). I very much doubt this would even
work (and even then, you'd be relying on the NAS's soundcard (doubt it
has one).  A great thing about the SB players like the TOUCH is that the
bits are delivered to it perfectly via TCP/IP with no interaction with
any computer soundcard). And Triode's EDO is something that *only* works
if installed on a TOUCH.  

Sorry if I'm misreading your post, but it seems that you may not have
your mind around how the squeezebox stuff works. So you'll need another
box in the chain (a player to receive the music streamed from where it
is stored, i.e., the NAS).  And as such, the TOUCH is a very nice "box"
indeed.  And this way you can keep your NAS far away from your listening
post. Only the TOUCH is connected to your stereo. The NAS running LMS
could be in a back room, closet, basement, etc.
