Inexpensive streaming amplifier


My daughter, (not an audiophile), just moved into a small apartment in Brooklyn, and we want to buy her a streaming amp to connect to apple music, and her TV for movies.  She already has a pair of (hand me down from my son) Wharfdale 10.1 (small bookshelf) speakers to sit on either side of the TV.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

My young daughter just moved into an apt too.  She went with an "open box" Powernode ($750 with factory warranty) to drive her KEF LS50s.  She's VERY happy with her setup.  

Since it's for a girl, go with an all in one solution, smaller footprint, and it will power everything on when she points music at it with her phone.  Little known feature about the Node is the presets on the top of the box.  For example, touch one of the presets and it will power up and play her favorite XM channel at the volume level last used.

The Powenode has a Sub output that can be used for a future upgrade.  ;D  Cheers
