$250 Tube Headphone Amplifier Suggestions

Hey everyone, I'm looking to spend under $350 AUD on a tube headphone amplifier, which comes out to around $250-300 USD, and am looking for some suggestions. I'm struggling to track down a Little Dot MK III which would have been my first thought,

Same question, checked Newegg , MK2 has no info about voltage, MK3 is listed as 228V x 0.13A so I guess it is for 220V? Although MK2 said: L"ittle Dot amplifiers ships with a standard Type-B power cord (American 3-pin or U-ground) suitable for use in areas such as North America, Japan, Taiwan, etc." but I think this is only for cord...

I received the Little Dot I+ amplifier yesterday and unfortunately, the left channel is practically inoperable, only producing pronounced distortion. The right channel sounds okay. I have switched the tubes in order to determine if it might be a bad tube but the problem with the left channel remains and so I'm assuming it has to do with internals some how.

Is there a way to exchange for a functioning unit?

Thanks for any information...

Availability of NuForce Power Amplifier ?

Does NuForce still make a power amplifier? Not an integrated amplifier, but just a regular power amplifier for home stereo use. If there is, I would like to save 30 to 50% off retail. http://www.optomausa.com/soundproduct/STA120

It can go both ways. You do need to research before buying. For example, The Little Dot tube amplifier is about $20 cheaper here than anywhere I have looked. The first place I look is Aliexpress. It seems an awful lot of this stuff is on there. I get my starting comparisons there.

Good to know, as I also will be using a ' Little Dot' tube amplifier ( but, a mk III ) .
Guess, " great minds, think alike ! " lol ;)
But for the Immediate Future; the DAC end of a Fiio - E07k with a " L7" adapter to allow the Tube Amp interface versus the Internal Amp of the Fiio (or Their Dock - style Amp E09k :
which is made for Desktop use with either the " current drop " E17 or the E07k).
What DAC would you recommend as a possible Upgrade...

I was really tempted on this when it popped up because of the high ratings and the fact that I used to love hoarding high-bang-for-buck entry-level stuff, but trying to change my ways lately by lightening the load & eliminating all of the in-between upgrade steps. It would be one t...

I'm looking forward into buying the AKG K7XX but i have a few questions. Does this headphone even support 7.1 surround sound? Because it is not advertised at all in the description. Second, will I need to buy an amplifier? Third, since these are head
