Is a NAS the best way to "feed" a streamer/network player ? This is in comparison to playing files directly off an internal HD inside a streamer/network player ?

When I say better..I'm referring to sound quality, and over all smoother operation ?

Also, my router is in close proximity to my audio system. Would I need to relocate a NAS to an area away from my listening /gear area ? Because of noise.

Also, If your going to exclusively use a NAS as your music source, should I purposely purchase a streamer/network player without any internal HD ?

Any and all help is much appreciated. I'm a long time audiophile who understands analogue, digital...not so much.

Thanks in advance.
