@Jazzman7: In your #1 / Bluesound route, where would electroslacker store his music files? Or is that option only for streaming, no files?
Any network share would work.
My first NAS was simply an external hard drive plugged into my router.
Eventually I graduated to a Melco N1A.

Should be no need to re-rip your music files. Just a matter of them being located somewhere that is discoverable on your network and then pointing/defining that location to your streamer be it Bluesound device, Roon Nucleus, or whatever else you may decide on. Moving your music files from one network location to another is just a matter of copying your files over, which can be as simple as drag and drop.
And just out of curiosity. How much music do you have, and how have you stored it.
I myself rip everything as uncompressed Flacs using dBpoweramp.
