Music Server VS Laptop


I'm asking this question because I have no idea. Is there a benefit to buying a music server over just using a laptop? Today is my second day of streaming from a Western Digital 2 TB network drive with my laptop using Foobar 2000. Laptop is connected to my Audiolab 8200CDQ with a USB type A - type B cable. I'm able to play 24bit/96khz and I think it sounds great, but I have no idea if I'm somehow comprimising my listening experience with this set up. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone advise on Backup. For me, the main consideration is not to lose my treasured music on CD. If I do go the Music server PC route, I will get rid of my CDs.

Is it possible to say there are differences in making Bit perfect backups with the server or PC/Mac
