In the past I used option 1 - running LMS on a QNAP NAS, but I've switched to Option 2. I have a Raspberry Pi3 running piCorePlayer and LMS, with the music files on the NAS. Works very well and is very stable. I have the Pi and NAS running 24:7. Very easy to set up, and there's loads of advice and help available in the Linux/Unix forum here.
