Yeah, there aren't drivers on the NAS to support audio devices plugged into the USB ports, so unless you could find and install Linux drivers for an ARM CPU for your DAC, it's not likely that you'll be able to get it to work. Plus, after you've done that, you still need to have software on the NAS to play your music through the DAC.
What you might want to do instead is look for a Squeezebox Duet... hook the receiver to your network (or it can go wireless instead) and to your stereo, and use the WiFi controller to select music on your NAS to play through your stereo. Your NAS can then be anywhere on your network, it doesn't have to be right next to your stereo. If you decide you want to do this, you'll need to download the latest Logitech Media Server beta from here (the version you want is the very last link on the page) and install that on your NAS as well.
