I think the reason you aren't seeing that piece of high-end audio you want because it's too specialized. Not to you, but to the next guy and the next guy. What is high-end audio? It's a bunch of separates put together to form a system. High-end audio isn't going to trash that concept and give you one box that does it all.
Homes are going to have networks, period. They are going to have modems, routers and storage (more than likely). Put the big ugly NAS box in a ventilated closet. Mine is on a third floor where we rarely go. I have most of what you crave. I walk in the room, queue up music on the Sonos controller and hit play. No power buttons no two, three or universal remote. It's heaven.
It's a new world out there. Grab the piece you want, don't go asking for the whole pie (just yet)!
