Was planning to give my nine-year old my original Kann except it is off in repair, again, so am not sure if that will be a workable option for Christmas. Any ideas on one that can do streaming as well? Budget, $200.?

You sure a 9yo will appreciate anything that they can't already get out of their mobile (unless they don't have one of course)
She's never had a phone and I am trying to keep this to a single-purpose device idea. To discourage jumping onto a browser and do endless surfing.

Does she need streaming support or only own music files?
Streaming is not essential.

Best sound for price in a nice small size was a Hiby R3 Pro then.

To get a DAP with full streaming support means Android OS, so then you effectively have a device with a Browser to the web.
If you can still get one, the Sony A55 is also excellent under $200. With both, need to factor in buying a mSD card for more storage.

Shanling M0, small, cheap and simple to use. It's also packed with a lot of features for the price, they aren't required to use those features, but great to have.
