I suggest the Musical Fidelity M3 amplifier, It is an excellent amp that
you will appreciate very much.

It is rated for 85 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and over 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms.

The Jade 3s are hard to drive. Anything less than 75 or 80 Watts will be inadequate unless you are in a small room. The sound will thin a bit at moderate to high volumes.

I would get a NuPrime IDA 8. It will deliver the power you need, sounds fabulous and has a nice internal DAC and is $999. I would pick the streamer that has the best feature set. I personally like the Node 2s feature set and honestly dislike Chromecast but that is my personal taste.
