LOXJIE P20 Amp Tubes

Hi all, Im new to using amps and especially tube amplifiers. I bought this Loxjie P20 amp on amazon a couple years back and am now thinking of replacing the tubes in it to try and get some better sound from it. But I am entirely unsure of what to look for in terms of replacement as well as knowing the size of the tubes and all that.
The amazon listing says it uses 6N3 tubes in it, and the reviews mention lots of other tubes people have swapped in but im still wary on going out and just buying a tube since I have no clue what to look for, or specs to compare and contrast and most of all i dont want to waste money on buying the wrong size tube or buying one and damaging the amp system itself.

So I was just generally curious if there is anyone out there that can help point me in a good direction on what I can look for or what would work best, Im not really an audiophile by any means so im not after anything crazy, but thought an upgrade couldnt hurt it if makes the sound possibly more clear or whatnot.
Thanks for the help!

Try not to over think this, the unit was designed for 6N3 tubes so just look for those.

I'm not sure what an equivalent is (5670?) or how many more there are but my is guess is not "lots"

Be patient as I'm sure some of AK's more knowledgeable will be by and can clarify

There are quite a few varieties of this tube. Folks with Orchid DACs and other equipment that uses this tube in buffered outputs are very keen on swapping the various brands.
 
Ya, those JAN'S should sound better. That headphone amp is probably very similar to one I have. Tube front end with a SS output. Tossing the microphonic Chinese tubes for something better is a good idea.
