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?

Uber, Friday Harbor is a beautiful place.  It would be great to meet up.  I don't get to Seattle too often tomic, but it would be great to meet you as well.  You're in Redondo if I remember right?
Greg just North of Redondo, pick the wrong flood tide and its a short but chilly swim...
Have to rename this thread The Seattle Reunion Benefit Show soon......

For many years I used a late 2012 Mini Mac with an internal 1TB hard drive.  A few weeks ago the HD died.  I'm back-up crazy so nothing lost.  I have a NAS which was used for streaming movies and back-up's for multiple computers.  I re-tasked the NAS for music playback.  The NAS uses standard hard drives, not SSD.  I have been streaming from the NAS for about a week and have not notice any change at all.
