Is your NAS currently connected via ethernet? If so I would advise retaining the ethernet connection.
Also as you can run a trial of Roon for example, you can try using the QNAp with Roon installed and determine if it is able to stream your music files, including the high definition ones to your D200 without any dropouts prior to investing in any additional hardware.
In my case both my NUC and Devialet are connected via ethernet. I did try using Roon on my Synology NAS and while it worked, the performance for some tasks (such as indexing files, etc) was much slower than running it on a NUC or a Mac. However the was a reflection of the CPU/Memory in my NAS.
