So, the actual bitstream is better with a NAS. Seems that approximations and interpolations to account for CD imperfections is something that can only hurt the sound quality.
For the jitter, then, why isn't the right product a DAC with a network interface that is internally designed for low clock jitter. The CDP has a read/transport problem to solve, and a jitter problem to solve, two places where it can lose audio quality. The Network DAC would have only one: jitter. The content would arrive losslessly.
