If there is an issue with the operation of the tubes that might require a replace.
Which tubes fit and are recomnebded for the iFi ICan?
I undestand that the originals are either the GE5670s or the WE2C51 (please correct me if I am wrong)
Thanks

GE JAN 5670 are original tubes inside the product. If you'd like something better, then you could use costlier WE6922 for example

1. What is the contribution of the WE6922?
2. Does the WE6922 fits the pin layout of the original tube (no need for adapter)?
Thanks again
This is the response from iFi support

Thank you for your message regarding a Pro iCAN
We would recommend using the GE5670 Tube and would suggest that you purchase them from the internet as we do not have a purchase price available.
Kind regards

I bought a pair of WE JW2c51 from tube depot. They are great sounding tubes.

I tried a lot of tubes, and for me, the best are WE396.I bought a pair of WE JW2c51 from tube depot. They are great sounding tubes.

I though they were the same. What’s the difference between them?

How easy it is to replace thrse tubes? Just pull the old one and insert/push the new?I tried a lot of tubes, and for me, the best are WE396.
Is there a need for a tube's base adapters?
What is the known differnce between the WE396/2c51 and the GE5670?
Thanks

Just like that but is very hard to take out stock tubes for first time. You must be gentle and decided at one.
