To get a newer version of FFmpeg for this NAS, you would need to download an ARMv5 static build of FFmpeg from the link in this post and copy the ffmpeg executable to your NAS, then put the full Linux path to the ffmpeg executable into the MinimServer stream.converter property.

Even after doing this, you might have problems because the processor in your NAS doesn't have floating-point hardware and this might cause dropouts when trying to do DSD to PCM conversion in real time. I have a similar NAS with a slower processor (1.2 GHz instead of 2.0 GHz) and DSD to PCM transcoding is unusable because of dropouts every few seconds.
