Thanks! I have a refurb Lenovo T440 that’s been a champ for a year. Thinking of a second one for playback only, I bought a DAC and plan on joining 21st century.👍

For playback only, literally any i5 will be more than sufficient. It's not an intensive task at all.

Cool thanks!
Would that be true of streaming as well?

Yep.

Thanks guys!

Would i3 do the job?

For playback of local files, most certainly. Looks fine for streaming too: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005872445-System-Requirements

I'd be shocked if that doesn't handle all of your playback/streaming needs. Rock on!

If any playback issues with Winders10, them move on up to an audio-forward, free Linux distro and experience the paegentry of real computing.
Ubuntu is well supported and easy.
