As a long time MAC user, I couldn't agree more. And hardware isn't my biggest complaint, it's Itunes! What once was a joy to use is now an ongoing annoyance. I am convinced Apple does not want you to have your own library. I am finally getting the message.
Glad I didn't spend a bunch of money upgrading endless tweaks for marginal (if any) improvements. Over all I have no regrets. In audiophile terms, the Mac Mini was the deal of the century. It was a great ride... Just ready to move on. And with the NAS renderers, there is finally a better solution.

I cannot stand iTunes, either. I even got rid of iPhone 6 Plus after confirming itunes' goal is to take over both my phone and computer..
Similar experience to you, but the both the hardware and applications have been a PITA... with average sound quality to boot. The HD just died for the second time, so I am replacing the Mini with a NAS and Aurender N100. Hopefully this will be a robust, easy-to-use, good sounding source; not cheap though.
Cheers.

never owned a Walkman or an iPod and have ZERO music stored on of my iPhone.
And no, I don't listen to 'car audio' either, two words which should never be used in the same sentence.
And yes, network streamers/renderers are likely the future.
I think you pretty much nailed it.
