All in one streamer for parents in their 70s

I'm looking for a streamer for my parents  - for spotify and pandora, but primarily for internet radio - new or used. I was able to locate the como audio duetto: https://www.comoaudio.com/collections/como-audio-music-systems/products/duetto Are there other better options for an all in one streamer - or an all in one streamer with separate wireless speakers?  Budget $500 give or take new or used -good sound quality and ease of use a priority.  Thank you

The original Node was a square box design. 
I have no information comparing the Bluesound to the Echo.
Regarding Bluesound customer service- I agree, it isn't the fastest, but they do work on issues to completion. Given that streaming is relatively new, there are bound to be issues that crop up.
FWIW, I think Bluesound offers the most-streaming providers, stations, etc, with pretty good sound quality, for the least money.

Thank you - yes, my parents both use iphones and ipads, albeit with occasional frustration. And this will not to be used with another system.  Presently they are listening to spotify, etc through their tv's soundbar. Thanks again

@majorc   If your parents are comfortable with Apple OS and are using some Apps on their iPhone / iPad comfortably, then that opens up the possibilities.

Sonos would be an obvious choice, given that they are in the Apple garden.

However, there are many, many options...it comes down to their ability and proficiency with App based interfaces.
