Depending on your budget, I’d consider the Bluesound Power Node.He can use Internet Radio, Pandora, TuneIn, Radio Paradise,(Allfree) and Amazon HD, Qobuz and Tidal and a bunch more.

And as far as speakers, The Klispch RP 600m ll’s get great reviews are very reasonable priced.

All the best.

KISS - keep it simple and inexpensive.  My daughter is running KEF LS50s off a BlueSound PowerNode and is very happy with the setup.  I would keep the investment as low as possible, unfortunately theft is always a concern.  Keep the system as minimal as possible, there is never enough space in a dorm room.  A pair of active speakers that the user could cast Spotify to would be a good consideration too.  Good luck and cheers.  

I was in the market for a convenient system this year. I was looking hard at the streaming-amp options. I too had about settled on the Cambridge Evo when I realized I could go with active smart speakers. I ended up purchasing the KEF LS50 Wireless II's. The value for money they offer is incredible. I estimate that I would have spent an additional $1500 if I had purchased the Cambridge Evo + KEF LS50's. 

I will say that software and feature set is very important for this type of purchase. And the KEF app has been rock solid.
