Stream laptop to system

This is probably a question that’s been answered before, but I can’t find it.
Is it feasible to wirelessly stream from a laptop to a stereo rig?
If so, how is it done?
I now stream easily from my iPad with airplay to my set, but don’t know how to do it from a laptop which I’m considering buying.

For hardwired much better sound is available by putting the tracks on a drive (hard OR flash) and plugging it in. Arcam don’t do that.
For <$150 you can convert USB to SPDIF with a Topping D10s or an M2Tech and plug it into the Arcam. It’ll probably sound worse than UPnP. The Topping analog out MIGHT sound better than the Arcam.
