Music Server or Laptop?


I’m looking for suggestions. I exclusively listen to my music collection ripped to FLAC from my laptop/Foobar--->DAC--->amp--->speakers. I’m wondering if there is a decent, no-frills, music server that I could use in place of my laptop or would I be better suited to just buy another, smaller laptop that I would use solely for music and maybe save a little bit of money? I’m just looking for something that I don’t have to have a wire running across my room all the time or it coming loose when I move the laptop when in use.  If it helps, I do not stream anything.  I prefer to listen to my own collection.

Thanks!

Laptops provide the most flexibility with trying out different music players. My Macbook pro was in my system for about 10 years and could have gone longer but I had the opportunity for a nice used newer one.  I use the Toslink connection to the Qutest to eliminate the computer power issues of the USB.
