I would not spend $3 grand either for a streamer. I just think there are other cost effective ways to get features like the SB.
To me streaming from remote sources is more like a an FM tuner. I always knew I cannot get sound which equaled my system so I did not worry about it. Never owned a Marantz 10B, but did have a Scott 310E and Leak tuners.
As far as streaming locally... IMO if you understand what you are doing you can build a system equal or better than most commercial offerings.
But... not everyone has the background or wants to hassle with building computers, so off the shelf is the alternative... You just pay more for the convenience, and loose the flexibility of DIY.
The PI is a bit limited because of the way it handles the Ethernet, but there are other cool ARM devices out there. The Twisted Pear Audio guys are actually doing something pretty high end.
