Did your Little Dot MkIII come with stock tubes other than the GE 6AK5?
What tubes did your Little Dot come with? My Little Dot MkIII had with stock RCA black plate 5654 (6AK5) tubes instead of the GE tubes that seem to be the typical stock tube. And for the tube gods of HeadFi: Is that a good or a bad thing?- VeniVidiVale

Confused on the line of connections, difference between Preamp, DAC, Amp etc.
Could somebody explain the line of audio or such or show pictures of how this all happens. Is a Preamp and a DAC the same thing? What about something like the Zero, which is a Preamp/DAC/Amp apparently. Does that mean you can use it as a preamp and an amp? What does this even mean? Explanation...- Fetou

Forthcoming High End Amp/Preamp Combos? (Similar to WA2 or RSA Apache?)
I've decided to make a move on a high end headphone amp and preamp combo, for a number of reasons. The combo makes it easier to justify a price tag of 1-3K for a unit that forms the bedrock of a full system. I am trying to decide between a WA2 and Ray Samuels Audio "The Apache".

Schiit products, shipping to Canada?
Has anybody from Canada ordered a Schiit Asgard? I contacted them and they're not willing to lower the declared value, and I'm hesitating between that one and the Little Dot MKIII. I'm wondering if Canadian customs would slap me with huge fees. Thanks.- Bynming
