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.

Cheers, Ralph.
