Think it's a buffer stage to give better impedance matching between components.IMHO a much overlooked point in hi-fi.Ones The ones I have heard have made a huge difference in sound quality.
It's not the only one out there,and you could always build your own!
This one looks good for the money.Cheap as chips really for the decent quality parts-

Diyhifisupply do one too,though this is considerably more expensive.
It says on the top of it...."HiFi Stereo Power Amplifier"!!!!
I can't believe that modern equipment manufacturers, even at the lower end of the market, would engineer impedance matching so badly.
Are all sure these valve buffer amps don't just knock the corners off a well amplified signal?
Well all I can comment is on what I've heard personally.Nick's D3a bufferstage and TVC is a superb sounding piece of kit.At the last meet,one member had knocked up a Pass Labs buffer pre for about 15 quid's worth of parts.That sounded superb too.
