Storage of hi-res music from Tidal, Qobuz etc. on appropriate hardware?

Hi All,
I'm owning a Cambridge Audio CXA60, a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 635 s1 bookshelf speakers on stands and a soon to buy network streaming device DAC (either CA CXN or Oppo Sonica SDAC-3 [which is best considering I already own a CA CXA60?]). I will be subscribing to probably Tidal for my music. What I would like to know is exactly what to purchase with regards to effective storage of my music (and maybe films but that's secondary). I get the impression that NAS drives are the thing but which NAS drive and which discs? The Synology DS212j has taken my interest but which hard drives do I need to support it? What is the average amount of TB's required by an average audiophile? Is there a better option of NAS drive that comes with the hard drives? Or is there better options instead of NAS drives? Remember audio quality is paramount for me here.
