I have used several class D amps with varying degrees of success. None of them have disappointed me but I have a feeling they aren't for everyone. Right now I am happily using the Bel Canto Ref S500.My suggestion is to buy something like a pair of...

Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice
Were I in your shoes, I would return the item for either a replacement unit or a full refund with preference toward the refund. Unless the unit is faulty, your use of an alternate pre proves there is something about the unit in question that makes... 
Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes?
