If you need a simple yes and no answer, then the official response is no, we do not recommend charging the DAP and playback at the same time, in regardless of tube or solid state.
The condition is complicated, it will depends where you put your DAP (because ventilation is important), music format, and charging condition.
When you charge and playback at the same time, the in and out current are added up into very high output, causing the DAP to generate a lot of heat.
If you charge and playback on a desktop, with N3Pro in open ventilated location, then normally it is OK with that, but if you put your charger and N3Pro in your backpack when you charge and play at the same time, the heat generated will accumulated and will, in extreme situation, trigger the protection and N3Pro will auto power off.
If you playback regular high resolution music, such as 24/96 PCM or DSD64, the N3Pro is significantly warmer then playback CD quality tracks, that's because of the DAC operation, not related to tubes.
If you charge your DAP at 5V2A, it will generate more heat then charging it at 5V1A. This happens as more energy is being put back into your battery within the same period. and the chemical process inside the battery is more rapid.
Last but not least, these three variables can happens in the same time, and accumulate heat to the DAP concurrently. So there it is never a simple yes or no answer. Again, if you want a yes and no answer, then DON'T charge and playback at them same time.
