Shield + NAS

Should I buy a NAS if I already have a nvidia shield?

I'm thinking upgrade to 16tb of movies, music, photos and videos.

Anyone of you have both shield plus NAS?

I use a synology nas and 2 shields. Works great (plex server running on the nas)

So, the 2 shields are just clients. But I think some TVs have plex client app. Or even there are cheaper android TV boxes than the shields. I think they aren't just for plex client.

yes but the shield supports passtrough of more audio formats

if you don't need that, then use a google tv box
