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

Burned all my CDs to my Mac tower.

Run the audio to my AppleTV 3 via WiFi, and send from the AppleTV to my DAC via optical. 

Granted, I rarely listen to digital sources and I don't use a streaming service...

This is just a way for me to fill the room with sound, and it can be controlled via my iPad or phone.

The convenience and low cost works for my needs.

My interest in digital will change one day I'm sure, and at that point I'll look to upgrade, but for now, this is fine for me.
