What is the best streamer for under £250?
A friend has asked my advice on a budget streamer. He has a decent but dated system: Tag McLaren F3 (which I understand to be essentially am Audiolab 8000A from the '90s) and a B&W speakers, the ones with the tweeter on the funny looking 45° sloping baffle. I suggested a WiiM, but am unsure which model, or if there is something better for the budget.
I discounted the Mini (which I have) as he doesn't have a DAC, and I the one in the mini isn't great so that leaves Pro and Pro Plus.
Two other considerations, it must be compatible with Amazon, and be easy to use. He is a a bit of a technophobe, hence me posting this for him, he had his first smartphone last year at the age of 50 something!

The questions are:
- What are the advantages of the Pro Plus over the Pro?
- Is there anything better for the money, or as good for less?
- Is it worth stretching to a Bluesound Nano?
