So I think my next amp will be a tube amp, just to round out my little collection of stuff. Was considering both the 336 and the LD MK3....until I realized neither had USB inputs, just balanced RCAs. Now, I don't own a receiver that has RCA outputs, and I doubt I'll be in the market for one any time soon (limited space, and the fact that all my music is digital, no cds).
I'll be running 780s, PROline 2500s, and K501s out of the amp, listening to about everything but hip hop/rap and country, primarily metal of the fast/heavy variety; however, I also swing around to stuff like Conjure One and Nik Bartsch.
Price range will be around $300, can probably bump it to $350 if necessary.
I would guess I could also get a USB DAC with RCA outs, but a few searches on google didn't really pull up any manufacturer sites for the few I've seen talked about on here, and on top of that, I wouldn't be able to tell which DAC would really complement the tube amp.
