The two DACs will not work together without explicit coding in the OS, they will be seen as totally separate devices even if you put them on the same hub. That's why your choices are either to a) configure a second virtual squeezebox player (aka squeezelite) that is explicitly configured to use the second sound device, or to b) hack the alsa sound drivers to create a virtual "bridged" sound device that actually sends audio data to both real devices underneath, and *then* configure your squeezelite process to talk to the virtual bridged driver instead of either of the physical drivers underneath.. Very much simpler to do the first option, and there's howtos such as the one linked above for you to follow too. As you say you can always buy another pi too, which may well give you more flexibility in the long term anyway.
