Yes, adding more RAM or cache will not improve transcoding performance. If you had SSD instead of HDDs in your NAS, this could improve things a little bit more. But not by far.
You need a good CPU or GPU to handle media transcoding.
DS720+ will certainly cope with 4k using Synology video apps. Emby might require something more powerful such as TS-473A with GPU card or Xeon based NAS.
If you only stream 1080p then ds720+ is all you need.
I hope this helps.
