The single device would be the Pi, as now, and the UI unchanged. The MP3-decoding ICs would replace the USB audio adapters. Does the Pi 3 mean no external hub is required? And you've never had crashes in that configuration? If so, throwing money at the problem sounds easiest, though your `heir and a spare' approach doubles the difference.
