Are there specific NAS requirements for streaming?


I am planning on getting a Cambridge Audio streamer and plan to store my music on a NAS. Reading on the Roon website (which I do not plan to use), I see there are recommendations regarding processors, memory and at least a SSD for the Roon server to reside on. If I want to use Apple Music and Airplay with controls via an iPad or iPhone, are there specific NAS requirements?  I see the current Synology and QNAP NAS units are recognized as good options. I have a old Drobo FS that I can use but don’t know if this would be optimal. This would save money but. I noticed when I used it for storing photos for my Lightroom processing , it was quite slow.

Forgive me for chiming in, but I also about to acquire a CA streamer and I am probably more ignorant than the OP.

Is it not a plug and play device for streaming internet radio stations that mimic FM broadcasts? Or does the NAS just give you additional  options for services, like roon or other pay as you go apps,?

Thanks, sorry for the intrusion8-/
