I have a reasonable quality separates Hi Fi from the 90's / early 2000s in my living room and would like to add a box that will allow me to stream Apple Music to my Pioneer A400 amplifier which has the has the normal legacy 'AUX' style inputs.

Can someone recommend a box - budget about £100

The "Apple" way would be an Airport Express. Looks like they're discontinued though.
A mk 2 or 3 Apple TV would be able to do similar.

In the den we've got a proper old school HiFi set up. Bought a phono to head phone lead and then used a lightning to headphone adaptor that came free with an iPhone a few years back. Total cost about £15.

Ended up ordering one of these, for what I have read it has a reasonable DAC in it and should sound good especially with my 50 year old ears...
