Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback?


Not sure if there is any difference in theory but.....

Should there be any difference in SQ of files played back through a USB hard drive or flash drive plugged directly into back of my streamer.
Vs the same ripped files accessed by internet from a  NAS?

Please forgive my ignorance but if software such as Audirvana loads songs or albums into RAM before playing, doesn’t that eliminate any lag or latency?  Doesn’t that mean that SSD storage vs NAS storage both become irrelevant and both would be better than streaming?
