Looking at my settings, I don't see any way to pipe audio out of the i5 via USB. The USB port seems to be only there for external storage. Andrew at SGC can confirm this.
You can absolutely keep your music on the NAS and have Roon Server on the ST i5 discover it. While I have a NAS, I am super paranoid about having extra moving parts and network connections as part of my music listening setup so I went with internal storage (all SSD even). Unnecessary? Perhaps. Does it give me peace of mind? Absolutely :-)
