My boss gave me an amazon gift card for the holidays, I ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 with it. What to do with this one?

I had the version 1, but it wasn't good for lossless even with Rune and some other things I've tried. Just not enough power. However I read the 3 is supposed to be better.

How much progress has that space made in terms of turning the pi into a network streamer? I see there are $40 touchscreens I can possibly build something neat, just don't know if the software still uses tablets to control everything with most of the music playback distros.

Also I might have the opportunity to turn it into a NAS, using openmediavault, right now I have a hacked Asus Chromebox where I hacked it by removing the read only firmware screw by opening up the case and flashed the firmware and now have that running open media vault, however it is very overpowered for such a task (sharing a 2TB USB drive over my network for music);
