Budget streaming amp


This subject has probably been beaten to death... I will keep this very simple - I have a pair of passive bookshelf speakers and a room. What do you like/hate/love about of these 5 options? What other options should be considered?


Sonos Connect Amp $200 (eBay used) 

Yamaha R-N303 $300

Sonos Amp $649

Bluesound Powernode 2i $900

NAD C368 w/blueos $1400


I feel like $200 Sonos is the easy answer.

The $200 Sonos Connect amp is the best choice here! However, I just checked the eBay listings and I can find none at that price. There are several at auction for more - apparently the Sonos Amp is a highly-desired component! The best one I found was from seller "luvpame16" - $299 + $13.20 shipping from Chino. CA. This one was gone over and refurbished with improvements. I would buy this one over a stock unit!
