Sister's wants music system without the hassles!

Evening Goners',

My Sister loves to come over to listen to my system but when i try to explain it to her [she asked!] her eyes glaze over...

I have a nice pair of mint Red Rose R3 [the man!] speakers that i would love to put together an all in one system for her moderate budget!!
Amp, Preamp, dac, cd player, possible streaming , phono outlet .

She's an Analog gal but , with the right component, might venture into digital down the road.
Not anything complicated, just push a few buttons and sit back...:-)

Thanks to all who respond and i will then look each up...

Regards,
Azjake

Jc actually we have no issues or problems getting Arcam.

The solo was never a popular Arcam product with most dealers. 

The new Solo is almost unknown in the US and is not as popular as the Naim products.

As per sound the old Solo was what we were talking about! This new Solo actually looks promising and it may be quite good.

Most Arcam dealers sell their surround sound products. 

Arcam is currently launching new products and has been purchased by Samsung so there is a lot of turmoil with the line.

Not knowing what her idea of a 'modest budget' is makes this difficult. She might consider the Yamaha A-SX01 line of integrated amplifiers. They run for ~$350 for the 301 to ~$800 for the 801 at retail price, often are discounted however. They have built in DAC and phonostage, subwoofer output, and are considered very good products.  Of course there are other options as well. A full service integrated and a CD player would be all she would need. Onyko make a budget CD player, can be found online <$200 that had coax and optical output, could be run either analog or digital into a integrated with built in DAC.

What is the budget?
