If not Ipad is it worth considering an android device with SPDIF out which would let you use your choice of DAC?

I guess Android and USB DAC would be the way to go. Unless you mount it somewhere though it's much more awkward to use.

Or just use your phone.

I was waiting for somebody else to realise that this was the answer, since the OP explicitly rejected audiophile quality. If you want a standalone device, a no-name Android tablet with all the local files on a SD card plus Bluetooth connection to the amp would be sufficient for any but the golden-eared.

I use my iPhone to stream via Airplay to an Airport Express (A1392) which has a combined 3.5mm analogue/digital out. Sound quality is perfectly fine via an Arcam amp and Celestion speakers, and it's easy to use.
