Melco Audiophile NAS

[Foxman50]

I had a demo of a Melco N1A today and very good it is but can anyone help to let me know if the following configuration is possible.

At present i have a Synology NAS running Minimserver and a Chord Hugo DAC with a Naim NDX, the NDX is about to be sold. Im looking for a new streamer and have also auditioned an Aurender, but was wondering if the Melco could be used with its USB out into Hugo, this part i know works, but rather than using the storage on the Melco i would like to keep my music files on my NAS.

Could Minimserver sitting on the NAS or on the Melco use the files on my NAS.
