Thank you one and all for for your constructive advice to a Dad who is a tech dinosaur and really misses the simple days of treble plus bass plus turntable plus amp plus speakers equals ringing ears courtesy of Led Zep , Hendrix , Tull and when feeling a little mellow Black Sabbath. I have purchased for her the Airmotiv 6s with the XDA 2 along with 2 Emo RCA cables and Emo Optical . My daughter has an educated ear courtesy of hearing my gear from birth and unlike others she will evolve from simplicity to quality. If I may ask one final question are there any recommendations in terms of speaker stands that are apt for the 6's . Once again thank you to some very kind people who have shown a lot of care to my daughter and myself .All the best to you all.

There is NO way I'd have a setup for a teenage girl that involved any wires and such. Why not simply get her something like the B&W Zeppelin Air and be done with it? All she has to do is create a playlist on her phone and then jack it into the top of the Zeppelin. Beautiful music ensues with no fuss and no muss. And the street cred factor is off the charts with this, all of her friends will swoon over the form factor. I like his current plan, but if someone were to get the Zepplin why bother to 'jack it into the top'? Doesn't the Zepplin have Airplay? To me this is what makes your suggestion a valid one, you truly don't need any wires.
