Also was quite laggy I thought for a 1.8 CPU and 512 RAM I ran it on

If its choppy, particularly on that hardware, you probably set the frame rate too high, see this thread:

I havent heard of any basic sound quality issues with WMP before, the only software that should determine the quality of your audio output should be the audio codec used to decode it or any post processing done on it. StreetDeck implements its own equalizer so WMP is more or less just used for DRM and more robust album art support.
