Are you sure you have a good handle on what a NAS is? Your question doesn't make sense to me. The idea of NAS is a network accessible file server. In other words, its generally a dumb box that makes storage available across a network. If you add "programmable features," then you are talking about a networked computer, not a file server. (Yes, I recognize that a file server incorporates a CPU, but its not intended as a device for end user computing).

I suspect some of the one-box designs (e.g., Olive) may be networked, in which case I'd guess the drive they store stuff on is network accessible too. You might look that direction.

Or, you could simply build a cheap computer, put in a good audio card, a bunch of drives, and network it.

Or, you could buy a RAID NAS and a separate Transporter...
