Hey Guys
I have a laptop and my digital music collection playing through a dac. What programs do you guys use for this purpose? Can I control payback using your smartphone?

iTunes + Pure Vinyl.
I can control it with my iPhone, but using my laptop (& the built-in share screen function) to directly control the macMini server.

I run Kodi on the laptop, remote control it with Kore on my Samsung phone, and Kodi Remote on the iPad.
I wrote my own music player as a way to develop lossless audio compression algorithms.
Smartphones did not exist at that time.

I remote desktop into NUC11 from pads and/or mobile phones & laptops, using the RD Client app.
JRiver for casual listening and HQPlayer Pro when I've time to sit and listen. JRiver starts the playback of the last track played automatically, on NUC11 power-up (single press of a button); HQPlayer Pro and the fast i7 1185 CPU let me use a high-quality ASDM7ECv2 modulator at x256DSD rate & poly-sync-long-lp filter at 40% CPU utilisation, with no hiccups even if the source material is of a high sample rate. The 1.536MHz PCM also sounds great and only presents approximately 10% CPU load. Sometimes I like DSD - sometimes PCM... Sometimes I just use direct JRiver playback (no upsampling of any kind) of the original material, sent to my DAC in NOS mode, which also has its charms (and weaknesses).
NUC11 with its relaxed 12-24V DC power supply range requirement, makes it easy to use pretty much any power supply out there.... the linear power supply (with a CLC "front end") I built for NUC11 is the best thing I've done for my sound system in a long while...
