Coputer or NAS


Hello,
In the last few month I started to use in my system Logitech Squeeze box Touch with my work laptop computer and external hard drive. Recently I purchase a DAC(PS Audio Nuwave) and I want to have a dedicated computer or NAS for the system. My goal is to use computer/NAS, SBT, DAC, and Use the Ipad as a remote. Since I’m not a computer guy, I have few basic questions:
1.I’m not familiar with NAS, and I wanted to ask if it’s mandatory to use computer with NAS, or can I use only NAS.
2. My DAC support files up to 24/192 kHz. Does the computer/NAS need to be connected to the SBT or can the computer/NAS be in a different room and transfer 24/192 files using WiFi?
Thanks.

I see. I'm not sure if the Logitech Squeesbox has the interface to choose the item from the NAS. I'll have to read more about it.
Thank you for your answer.
You right. I'll use either digital or USAB output from the Logitech to the DAC, and I'm hoping that the Logitech can recive the Hires files via the network. I'm looking forward to hear if it works with your Oppo.
Thank you guys for the info. It's very informative and I feel more confident now to go with the NAS and not computer.
