Yes, first of all, you need to identify the cause of buffering.
Technically local streaming should cause no buffering at all. Especially if you say there is no spike in CPU usage. This means it can be a transcoding issue.
DS1520+ is a network device and theoretically would work better as a network media server. Only in case of transcoding your i7 PC would outcompete a NAS.
Try and make a note of every video that is buffering. Then try and stream it directly via USB dongle connected to a TV. If you stream via WiFi, it is slow at some times. Wifi6 would help with it.
I hope this helps.
