Hi,

In my office I currently use some Firestone DAC/PS/AMP combination which I really like. Anyway, I want to have some small speakers attached to my PC in addition now.

So I am looking for an "all in one" "little" "not to expensive" solution for this.

Full tube or at least hybrid prefered.

that has at least 2 inputs (both analog or 1 analog and 1 digital) ON THE BACK.

that has an easy accessable power switch (unlike the firestones - so not on the back:)) and headphone jack.

that has an easy accessable input selector (like on the front).

that has a decent headphone circuit.

that can drive some small speakers.

that does not use too much space on my desk.

that mutes the speakers when a headphone is plugged in.

that costs < 1000$ .

You can see that one of my main concern is ergonomics here :). I do not want to push too may buttons or even recable when switchin from headphone listening to the speakers.

The only solution for this I found so far is the fatman iTube or one of its clones, but I hope there are some other choices.

Thank you.

So the "Glow One" seems to be one option for me, but I am a bit concerned about the bad reviews for the DAC since I would like to have 2 RCA inputs or 1RCA and a good DAC.

No other headphone amps that can drive some small speaker in addition out there ?!
