There is no difference. Understand that the entire point of the TOUCH is that there is NOTHING about the audio/sound card aspects of the computer or NAS that has anything to do with the audio reproduction of the TOUCH. Much of the discussion about sound quality and computers has been in the context of all the things happening inside the computer, the actions of the sound card (and whether resampling, etc. is going on with the card, etc.). The SqueezeBox approach is to avoid all these potential issues (it is why the original creators of the SB line created these networked music players!). The computer serving the TOUCH doesn't even need a soundcard. It has nothing to do with the TOUCH. All that matters is that the DATA is sent to the buffer of the TOUCH. So the key is that you have a robust network. And if you use a NAS, it needs to be a high enough power NAS to run the program LMS (to handle browsing the music database, serving the data to the TOUCH, etc.).
