Oppo BDP-105 and Qnap TS-251A

I have recently bought a Qnap TS-251A NAS and attached it to my home network. My Oppo BDP-105 sees the Qnap and all its files on the network and, using the Oppo Media App, I can play the music files. I do not know what path the signal takes from ethernet cable in to the stereo audio out on the BDP-105. Does it go though the DAC?

The Qnap has 3 HDMI ports. It would seem to make more sense to attach the Qunap to the coaxial DAC input of the BDP-105 so that I can be certain of a direct path through the Oppo DAC. Does this make sense? Is this possible?

@ifanpayne - I'm no expert, however this is my opinion based on the information you have provided. The Qnap TS-251A is a NAS device - Network Attached Storage. It stores files that can be "seen" by anything on your network that has the appropriate credentials. If you are "seeing" the files from your Qnap on the Oppo BDP-105 Oppo Meida App, the files are probably being presented to your Oppo BDP-105 over a network connection (either ethernet or wireless wifi). If you are "seeing" the files now, I do not believe there would be any benefit to trying to connect it in a different manner. 

If you wanted to try a physical connection from your Qnap device to the Oppo you would probably want to use a USB connection if you have USB on both the Qnap and the Oppo.
