I have a Topping E50 that I use primarily with my Wiim Mini connected Toslink, sometimes with a Windows 10 laptop connected USB. Currently I have my laptop audio settings at 24/192 which matches the highest resolution for Amazon Music. Is there any real degradation when the source material is...

I recently picked up a used Inspire 6FLV (2020) and I am exploring it's capabilities. I have seen some of the various comments about 6SN7 vs 6SL7, 5AR4 vs 5U4, NOS vs New, Chinese tubes, etc. but what I am looking for are any suggestions relating to your favorite tube combinations for this...
