I would like to upgrade my 1st-gen Apple TV and was wondering if it is possible to stream to new Apple TV from a NAS drive with iTunes server or an alternate method. I am not willing to go XBMC way since I would like to control my Apple TV though the Remote app for iOS.

It's not possible to stream directly to the new Apple TV from a NAS. You need a laptop/Mac in the middle.

You can play media that originates on an iOS device using AirPlay to send it to the Apple TV. AirPlay is built in to iOS.

You will soon be able to play media that you are storing in iTunes Match on an Apple TV. iTunes Match requires a yearly subscription fee.

Neither of these features requires you to have a Mac or a PC, but neither helps much if all your media is on NAS.
