How important is NAS CPU power for direct stream 4K HDR content?
Looking to get my first NAS specifically to run home media server, to play content with all the bells and whistles there is (4K HDR Dolby Atmos/Vision), direct stream to TV (Sony Bravia 5). Currently contemplating either Asustor Drivestor AS1202T or Lockerstor AS6702T running the usual Plex/Jellyfin, does it matter if a NAS device has slower CPU? Or would this cause any microstutters/lags during the content playback?
The NAS is going to be used specifically to host media server, HDD in JBOD and no data backup is required (I have a separate DAS for archiving). Is there anything I'm overlooking here on the importance of NAS CPU?
