As I have a SONOS and a Marantz NA-7004.
Neither of which I'd call more than mid-fi sources.
NA-7004 supports AirPlay, so there's that.
SONOS streams QOBUZ if you tell it you live in Europe.

In addition to the units being all-in-one, (again as it's termed Music Server), the internal HD is a requirement.
In IT Infrastructure I've heard the term "network appliance" used in reference to a NAS drive.
If Abe would've said Server instead of appliance in the title of his post, - I wouldn't have confused it with network file player like the Aries.
I can understand why some high end manufacturers would want to provide an easy all-in-one box that the customer can even ship their CDs to and have the manufacturer load them up for them and ship them back their 1 box solution. A solution like that has never been right for me. People who load all of their music onto their commercial computer's internal HD have built themselves a music server.
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
and I don't, I'd likely prefer a stand-alone NAS drive, preferably with some form of RAID configuration that would assure everything is safe and even then, perhaps some off line backup system that only backs up the NAS whenever new stuff is loaded?
A one box solution makes no sense for me as most of my listening today is not even in the main system but streaming Lossless FLAC over the internet to headphones in my easy chair or in the office.
That and spinning vinyl.
