defective pre-amp

defective pre-amp
I doubt its a bad dac. If its an open box item its best to reset to factory settings and try again. And have you tried another source or output through speakers? 
Mcintosh c2600

Unfortunately no, the buyer is an elderly person and not able to try different options like cables and speakers. He is sending it back. I had used the original box and packing materials. I will have to try it out for myself when I get it back.  
Amp makes clapping noise
