Do Audio Experience Symphonies leak DC current?

I'm thinking about trying an Audio Experience Symphonies preamp, but i read a post where someone said their symphonies pre leaked dc current, putting their classe ca-100 into protection mode.

here:

i have a ca-200, which also does not like preamps that leak dc current (per manual).
has anyone else had this happen with this preamp, or was this case an isolated incident caused by a faulty component in the preamp?
thanks

I have spke to Katchup privately, but i'll share my responce here as well.

I have the Audio Experience Symphonies preamp and a McCormack DNA-1 power amp. The DNA goes into protection mode a lot...sometimes when I turn on other appliances (vacume, TV), other times it just goes off randomly.

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why...pehaps this is the cause.
I will email mr. McCormack to see if this leakage would case the protection to kick on.
