And there are lots of people with VERY high end systems that don't use set-top boxes for their Plex because they are all under-powered for very high end content. So, while the STB's that are available may be "better" for most people because they are easier to setup and they don't have a $10,000+ home theater, they are most definitely not better for people that want the absolute best and can afford to get it...

I think we have vastly different ideas about high end, 10K US should buy you a half decent 4K PJ and screen, a decent AV set-up could easily run your budget to 2-3x or more than that depending on what you want to do.Plex’s main strength is it’s ability to transcode (useless feature for high end as your focus is going to be quality, so 1:1 content direct played) and off the shelf mediocrity in the form of a not awful UI and ability to pull meta data. As the former is counter intuitive to quality, it’s largely useless, the latter is better achieved in Kodi for example and without the agro of forced upgrades and unplanned UI changes as well as full customisation of what you want, how you want it. That said I might have pinned a family member who’s home cinema set-up cost more than my first house and he hasn’t complained... yet
