tube pre amp with tube / SS /hybrid power amp ?
You are pretty much describing Blue Circle gear. Most all the preamps are tube and most all of the amplifiers are hybrid. 
What is the benefit of a good transport?
So if the DAC really solves the problems, then all you would need is a $30 DVD player from Walmart as a transport. 
What is the benefit of a good transport?
As a non digital expert (not an engineer), how would a DAC know that the signal it receives needs to be re-clocked? I can imagine a transport doing that, since it is reading the source material.

The problem with peanuts is not really the peanuts per se, but more likely that the box the shipper is using is too small. You really need at least 6-8 inches of peanuts between the item and the outer box, if the item is fairly heavy.But you are a...

Which "Kind of Blue". I'm so confused
