Can you build a digital music streamer around a Raspberry Pi 4 with an external DAC?

Hi,I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM that I was going to use for another project that fell through. I’ve been looking on the Internet to see if you can use this little wonder to create a music server, using one of the USB ports to hook it up to an external DAC. I know that there is a Linux distribution especially made for this purpose, in which a standard web browser on any device can be used to control the server. If anybody knows more about whether this is doable, I’d love to know. Thanks. Oh, and I should clarify that I would of course be using an external hard drive to store my files.
