It's better to isolate the issue first b4 introducing any changes.
File transfer is a bulk copy operation that uses TCP/IP protocol and is not time critical thus the rate at which the data is sent can vary or even stop/restart. Playing a remote music file uses UDP protocol and is time critical thus the rate at which data is sent is constant and cannot vary or stop/restart otherwise there will be buffer under-runs on the receiving client and audio glitches will occur during playback.
The symptom of long RTT ~30ms average from ping during playback suggests a possible issue on the NAS when it tries to stream a music file to client at a constant data rate.
What kind of NAS?
What kind of mount from moOde (SMB or NFS)?
