Tubes from Carver SD/A-490t CD player
Thanks Mofi. I feel a little foolish as I was on this forum and decided to ask here, then decided to do a little checking out for myself and discovered Carver was using the 6DJ8 tube. Regarding these tubes, I have no use for them and would send th... 
Audio grade USB cables
Rob, like Willie, I also might have purchased your Disruptor had I checked out your site, may still as I have a second system. I really think your product, as the Doukmall, makes sense.   
Who has a micro 2.0 system?
Micro system: How about Onkyo 805 half width receiver (18wpc),  Radio shack Minimus 7 speakers, HRT Music streamer II, Macbook Pro.  Micro price ~$200. All fits into a suitcase so as to be portable.

Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp
You might purchase the DIA100 first and try it. If you feel it is not ideal then take it along for comparison to other amps under audition. 
Entry level amp
I agree with Paraneer.  I use an NAD 356Bee in a 2nd system and believe it to be an excellent product, however feel the additional power provided by the 356 would prove beneficial with your speakers.

Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp
With a ~$1000 budget I would go the route of an integrated amp and separate DAC. I have a system that includes the NAD 526BEE with a used Music Fidelity V-DAC II. There is a used V-Link II on sale here at AG for $150. I think it would make for a g... 
Audio grade USB cables
Thanks Willie and Rob. I will try this cable and get back to you.   
Building 2.0/2.1 PC system
You have a DAC with USB and SPDIF inputs. I recommend a line level integrated amp with a separate phonostage for flexibility.  What is your budget.  
Audio grade USB cables
Sorry Willie, I live in southern Illinois. It seems that the Doukmall cable is a good inexpensive way to separate power from signal and probably would provide much of the sonic gain provided by the PurePower to the Audiophilleo. I would like to tr... 
totem/nad denon
I am with Lowrider in that i could not see replacing a 2-channel NAD integrated for a HT receiver for music. That said, you should try both and answer the question for yourself. It is possible that the sonic difference may be overshadowed by your ... 
Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k
Have you looked into a docking station for your iphone/ipad. I believe one could be found that would transmit SPDIF to the Yamaha DAC. I am not real familiar with what is available as I use a MACbook Pro for my 2nd system.
