yes, lots of features. Your paying for great high end software, great high end hardware and a warranty.
You get what you pay for. If that had AES/EBU I would consider buying one.
I'm happy with my modded Sonos connect, also the RP DIY route is fun, but that's all it is is fun, not professional.
It is a nightmare to get all the streaming services on linux systems. You need to invest in software developers and partnerships with the web services and license APIs. That's where the costs come in.

High end software? Based upon exactly what? The same $35 computer and equally inexpensive HiFiBerry adapter are used here.
I'll pass on paying $1100 for a fancy case, power supply and warranty. :)
I'll stick to my Sonos Connect as well.
One can definitely fiddle with a Matricom G Box, it runs android, probably all you need, I'll put the link below to it from Amazon. Google Play store works with it.
Link below, there's other G boxes out there,
"High end software" claim was wishful thinking. :)
As a software developer myself, I would rather use something that's been in the field for years and years and tested and refined by huge numbers of users vs. adopting something with little actual use.

Which limits you to Redbook quality. Why limit yourself to 1980 era resolution?
I have an Auralic source. DAC and Transport.
Maybe 2 high res albums.
