RE: Why is the physical placement of NAS changing the sound???

You didn't say where the NAS is located and how it is powered. Is it located in your listening room? Is it powered on the same circuit as any of your other audio equipment?

There are some other experiments you may be able to make. You might try playing files from some other machine than the NAS. Then power the NAS up and down and see if this makes any difference. And try using the NAS to transfer files to another computer through the switch while listening to music (not from the NAS). See if this makes any difference.

If the NAS is in the listening room, it is even possible that moving it around may affect room acoustics, whether or not the NAS is powered. Or it could be something really stupid, just that you aren't sitting in the exact same spot while listening to different configurations. (Not to accuse you of being stupid, I'm just brainstorming and I've done many stupid things to confuse myself on occasion.)
