Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?

Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college
I’ll third the Vera Link class D amps you velcro to the back of a pair of passive speakers.  If you also buy a Wiim Mini, you’ve got a perfect first system for less than $300.  And if the speakers are pretty good, it can sound great!  
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
I haven’t read all of this, but do you know who you’re talking to?  
Vera-Fi Audio Vera-Link Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Streaming Amplifiers
I’ve got a pair h ooked up to some LS50’s, and thE sound is pretty good though it is still Bluetooth, so not “incredible”.  For the price, and use case, they are a real bargain.   
I stream 24/7. Do you?
If I’m not sleeping, I’m streaming.  Mostly Internet Radio, but Qobuz playlists too.  Like @kennymacc , good equipment makes it a joy to listen to music, and I seemingly never get tired of it.  
Streamer with variable digital output
Don’t forget the Lumin transports such as U1 Mini, U2 Mini, u1 or U2.  They even sell a remote if you don’t want to use the app.

What would your "perfect speaker" sound like.

Hegel H160 and longevity
I’ve had an h160 for over five years and never a problem.  Don’t worry, be happy!  
Streamer upgrade - best path forward
The financial strain is, hopefully temporary.  The music is forever.  
What amp for LS3/5A nearfield only
As well as the Rogers LS3/5a’s.  
What amp for LS3/5A nearfield only
Check out the Vista Spark.  Truely excellent, but only 20wpc.  Makes my Triangle Bro3’s sing!

Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply
I just last week upgraded a Lumin U1 Mini to the Sbooster LPS, so can comment on the process.  It's not hard, but requires an hour of your time, and the nerve to snip a wire.  The Meanwell switching power supply in the Lumin is good, but I feel th... 
SMSL D300
Not to more expensive SMSL’s, but I like, very much, my D300.  It’s a keeper!
