Could this be used with a tube amplifier and the Monoprice be used as a preamp bypassing the solid state amp stage?

Stick with ss for planars. That said this is hybrid so might be it doesn’t really matter. I think this is more for show than anything. If you want tube sound get full tubage.

Then use a different’t source. There is a ton of information out there that suggests tube amps add noise and pretty much nobody disputes it. The information is there, all you have to do is look.

Yes, but the IC is made up of transistors. So in essence it's still a transistor amp.

I'll also add, if you listen to Edm, rap, metal, or Jpop..a tube amp isn't going to help. Some might work well, but most will sound muddy when music gets really busy.
