Hi Ken,
It is true things are changing but that does not necessarily mean there will be one or some definitive hardware solution as a music server, there can be many good solutions.
As far as a complete system, what I run is Jplay streamer and I can recommend that you try it, and it is in my opinion the best sounding solution available. I run it on Windows server 2012 would audiophile Optimizer, and would also recommend this combination.
As far as using a laptop, unless you really want to use a laptop for something else I would prefer a headless solution as I think ultimately they will provide you with a lower noise device. Once the system is set up and configured it becomes an appliance, pushbutton on, remote control with another computer a tablet, pushbutton off.
People have reported that Windows 10 also works very well and sounds good, and Phil will hopefully be making a version of audiophile Optimizer for it.
Regards
Bob
