Going to Linux MC, I'd just caution that you're aware of what it doesn't do when comparing with Windows MC. A notable point of difference currently is television. If that's not a bother, cool. Not sure what else? Can't speak for high end video. I still rely on my Windows machine for that kind of work.

Windows vs Linux won't make any difference if you are listening to compressed music.  But If you are using JRiver for listening uncompressed music, try listening on a Linux machine using the same hardware setup.  You will "hear" the difference.  Sound needs to be processed in a real-time kernel OS like Linux.  Quality suffers from DPC latency and driver issues in Windows.
