Although it is possible to comnect a USB DAC to the Synology it should not be necessary. When your Sony AV amplifer and Synology are on the same network, then you should be able to stream music using DLNA. You can download the Synology DS Audio application to a tablet or mobile phone to control this setup and select/play music. I assume the music files on your server are one of the media types natively supported by the amplifier e.g. FLAC or MP3, otherwise you might have to set up the Synology to do transcoding?
