Transcode on NAS?

It's definitely worth trying. Transcoding from FLAC to WAV doesn't use much memory, and you should have enough CPU power to be able to handle up to 24/96 files. (24/192 might be possible, but this would be pushing the limits.)

You can look at the CPU and memory usage by using the 'top' command from an SSH console window.
