Question for those of you laptop users...


I stream digital music from my laptop with a USB connection to a DAC Integrated amplifier and out to bookshelf speakers.  It's not the most audiofile solution, but the music sounds really good to my ears.  I currently use a Dell Inspiron 3583 Windows laptop for my streaming (YouTube Music subscription).  It's a solid-state (flash) drive and I really like how fast it boots (under 10 seconds) and how reliable it is.  I'm only using it for music streaming, so there's not a lot of other software on it that could slow it down.  

I'm curious, for those of you that stream your music from a laptop, which one do you like using the best?

Just want to add that this laptop has fingerprint authentication, which brings it up faster.
Coincidentally, last night, first time laptop in music system

I have an HP Laptop with B&O audio integrated.

It sounded great last night, so I just searched and found this

wireless; YouTube stream (free), out headphone jack, adapter to rca to tube amp.

I imagine like the old days, the headphone jack will get problematic when it's spring tension gets loose.
