The little dot is a very affordable way to get into tube rolling as there are a ton of inexpensive NOS signal tubes out there.
At reasonable prices not like NOS 12AX7 and others.

Another point to be made is the designer of all the little dot products is Sword Yang a very acompished engineer and well known in China as an Audio guy. He is creating original circuits using really good but affordable parts.
He knows what he is doing and everything he makes is well thought out and their assemblers do a great job in production.

I see that Little Dot have quite a range of headphone amps. Are any of the lower priced ones worth looking at?
Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
The Little Dot MK II is another gem. Can also be rolled. Mine was impressive enough to make me want to change my main amp.
Here it is with Mullard M8100.

A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

Yes, they make a lot of lesser amps .
But for me the 3 version 2.0 is the sweet spot because when the surplus of cheap outputs dries up that don't sound nearly as good as the 6h30 you will still be rocking.
And it leaves more room for future upgraded tubes.
If you can get the used 4 for the price of the 3 do it.
Or find a nice used 3 version 2.0 so you can upgrade the power tubes later. It's about not having to buy another headphone amp later and just rolling tubes as you please. The 6n6p tubes are what limits the 2 and 3 V1.0

I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones and an NJC Audio headphone amplifier. At the same time I had a valve buffer added to the line out of my Croft 25RS. I'm very pleased with how it all sounds.
