In terms of immediate simplicity and low cost, if an Android phone is in the works, using that device as a player with line out to the stereo is an option.
I use SB Player in combination with Squeeze Ctrl, from the same developer. Squeeze Ctrl is my controller of choice, use it for all my devices. For direct listening from the mobile, you choose SB Player as the player instead of the other devices on the network (assuming the mobile has access to the wifi network). I use it with headphones all the time, as well as occasionally with a small amped speaker. With high-draw headphones it can sometimes be a problem getting loud enough, although this is not an issue for the vast majority of headphones, but with the stereo it won't be an issue. The downside is that the phone is tethered, unless you set up a bluetooth receiver with the stereo. One advantage would be that he could use the mobile with earbuds or headphones, sparing you the volume of whatever he's listening to in his room. R.
