I can certainly see myself owning something like the ZERO 1 in the future if I want to reset the system! All-in-one systems like these will allow the designers to optimize all the parts for sound quality and provide a neat tidy package. Certainly my wife would already appreciate something like this in our living area especially if she can just stream whatever off her phone without hassle.
I have no doubt that it would sound excellent. Given that this is the audiophile subforum, the main question I do wonder about is if it will be afforded with the same -respect-. Would streaming through the Airport Express be something that the traditional audiophiles see as on par with the same quality out of wired transmission? There's also the loss of flexibility; you can't just switch out amps and change the DAC at leisure although I guess it might be interesting to have a modular design...
