Yes, but have you seen how they do this? The AirPlay device (Airport
Express) gets plugged into the analog in of a Sonos device and that's
how that works. You have no integration whatsoever but you need to start
playing AirPlay from one App and control all that from another App
(Sonos).
It's a

They did this already three years ago when AirPlay was still called
AirTunes. So: unlikely

Actually even if you use the volume control in iPeng; the volume

And if you send it a 24/96 FLAC (for instance)? Will it downsample?

In the AirPlay case: yes. AirPlay (on iOS devices) only supports 24/48.
Actually all iOS use cases except for iPad+Camera Connection Kit+USB
DAC don't support 24/96.

So here is my prefered setup:

I'm a bit confused as to what you are asking. You can have a NAS with
SbS (or LMS) installed in a different room. You can control it all with
iPeng and touch, but you'll still need some bit of hardware connected to
your Marantz. A sb touch, receiver, SB3, etc. I don't think
