Computers by their very nature are inherently noisy. The quality/price of the server is due to a couple of areas. This is what separated the men from the boys. If you ever hooked up your system to the headphone outputs of a laptop you will quickly hear the problem. A music server is a computer attached to the network and has software to serve up your music files to either an internal DAC or an external DAC via USB. And depending on your sound system this might be all you need.
It can be as simple as a laptop connected to the network for your music files on a USB drive or a NAS (Network Attached Storage), USB out to your DAC and your system. Or you may only be interested in streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, etc. How you serve up your files depends on personal tastes and the size of your library. When I want to seriously listen, I sit down to my LPs and turntable. I can select a playlist and let the music flow uninterrupted for hours. I listen to digital music while I am working.
