Thanks for the replies so far. I'm likely not using the right vernacular. If I want to play something from the radio, I'll probably do so through a streaming service. The only real requirements I have are:
1. Can plug in 2 speakers. Might add a center channel one day.
2. Can hook up my turntable.
3. Can play music from my laptop via bluetooth or plugged in.
So yes there is flexibility. I'm not looking for something that I can use for home theatre or surround sound. This will be used in a relatively small room.

OK, I am going to recommend a NAD digital network amp. It is the more powerful of the two that they make which may be needed with your Bose speakers.
You will see that it doesn't cater for LP. I think that a combination of phono input plus DAC/Bluetooth may be asking too much ( you'll tend to get one or the other). But that isn't a problem. You just need to add a little outboard phono stage such as the ones from Pro-ject.
This should keep you within a few hundred dollars.
I have done a little further research and found that it doesn't have any analogue inputs which means that the phono input cannot be connected. So I'll change to the very similar but slighly lower powered NAD D-3020 which does have the input to which you couple the outboard phonostage. Power will be fine unless you have a large room to fill or want play in a small room at ear bleeding levels.Let's also see if any of the other inmates can find something else that meets your needs.
