If you want to use BOTH the iPad and the iPod to stream music, then I would suggest an Apple Airport Express.
You can connect the airport express directly to your amp line ins using supplied cable.
The sound will not be that great since the DAC used in the Airport Express is medicore at best, but it will work great.
Further down the road you can invest into some high quality DAC and utilise Airport Express TosLink digital out instead of the analog outs. You need a DAC with a with high jitter rejection though (to supress jitter present on Airport Express TosLink digital out), so you need something of current vintage (certainly no legacy dacs) - Arcam rDAC, Musical Fidelity V-DACmk2 / M1 DAC etc.
You can also get one of the iPod docks available (Wadia i171 springs to mind) but then you will not have the wireless capability. Sound wise the dock will be slightly better though.
