Seeing others on this forum who had done similar I recently migrated my setup, primarily to take advantage of using Roon as a control surface. Works really well, plays all my HD content without a hitch. I certainly didn't have your patience with Air - tried it for one rainy afternoon.... A MacMini approach would be lower risk, as you could always repurpose it for something else later, plus I can't say enough good things about Roon on iPad as a control mechanism.
I did consider this but decided that if i was moving away from AIR it would be a more off the shelf solution. The Aries Mini would be the route I go if I change my mind on this, although Roon has some very good reviews and comments
