Seller replicated the issue and the fix they did was to install a new power cable from the outboard power supply to the unit,  should get it back soon, looking forward to hearing it in my system. Thanks everyone tor your advice, Kevin

@mark200mph Do you use balanced for input on the ?  I am considering Emotiva, looked a little at the XPA-2 Gen 3 for 2 channel, definitely not looking to use monoblocks, just my preference but I do understand the gains that can be made. Still cons...
