Ready For Digital Source...Computer?


I have speakers and amplification all figured out, now I need a source. No vinyl and not concerned with CD's at this point.
Only steaming online. No Roon either, been there, done that. 

Honestly, (because I need a new computer anyway) I would really like to use a computer to play Spotify (hopefully CD-quality soon), Tidal, Qobuz, etc. but most say a computer is too "Noisy" to use for this purpose. Although, I have heard there are ways around this.

Rather than having to purchase a dedicated music server, does anyone know how to set up a computer as a high-quality music server? I can't really seem to find anything online.

Thanks

Building a good streaming system with a computor can be done easly. Dont listen to the negative people who claim to her " noise " in the electrical wire because the power company uses a bad resistor 20 miles down stream. The first thing to consider is to have the best internet connection coming into the computer this should be done with a cat7 hard wire dont use wifi. Next is a good signal path to an external dac of your choice ( the dac option is unlimited). I use my mac book pro as my qobuz source and it sounds great. Look at this company for help to get the best signal into your computer.
