Then I am going to make it REAL simple.
The "streamers" I speak about..Bryston, Simaudio, T&A, Aurender, SOtM, Bel Canto, Auralic, and dozens more are HIGHER end..yes HIGHER end then the SBT, the Apple TV, etc.
Apple TV and Squeezebox et al are hondas and toyotas. The others are Porsches and Ferraris. Real simple.
I used SBT's, I used Sonos, I used many cost effective clients. Just like you they all received files from a central library...but here is what you deny, or refuse to except, or just can't fathom...
The performance gains by the next step are enormously easy to ear.
The day I compared the Bryston BDP-1 to my squeezebox was a game changer. Same files, same DAC, same digital cable, same ethernet cable etc,
I really hope you "get" what I am describing now..for the tenth time.
Now let me conclude that distributed/networked audio with Apple TV, Roku..what ever is fine..but there are higher levels of performance to be achieved.
There is no magic.

Sure they're higher end but if you don't need higher end in the "other rooms" why would one bother? My MAIN ROOM has the high-end setup via the Mac> DAC so from my perspective why would I need a high-end streamer?

  Why would YOU bother you mean.
  
  I have 3 high performance systems in three different rooms. Apple TVs etc are not good enough and they don't play high resolution files.
  
  In your main system..just like you like to juggle DACs..go borrow some streamers and compare to your Mac Mini...they YOU come back and give the results, although we already know that you will never allow your beloved Apple to come in 2nd.

    Good for you. Not everyone needs 3 high performance systems.
    
    I have no need for the limited functionality of a high-end 'streamer' when I'm completely satisfied with my main setup.
    
    Do you have some sort of agenda in trying to push everyone toward streamers? One size does not fit all and the more I research high-end streamers I'm finding that none do precisely what I require but my main setup does.
