Tube pre for class d recommendations

Would anyone care to share their experience running a tube preamp in front of some Class d amps?

I had the UV-1 on loan after it first came out from Alternative Audio in Dundas, Ontario. It fed the power amp of my W4S STI-1000. We couldn’t track down the buzz and I took it back. Too bad, it did give a slight tube sound that I was looking for. @ghosthouse, The Freya looks interesting. Thanks! The past 7 years have been very satisfying with the MacBook Pro >>JRiver >>Stello>>Moon 300D>>Harbeth SHL5. I’ve just got an itch again about mating a tube pre with the Class d.

I have 2 foundation research LC2...one grounded and the other lifted ...done by Ed....that I used. Meaning, I was really giving it the old college try to make it work.

It's just that after 7 years, I'm getting the itch to try something. The Wyred is amazing. Just curious after reading so many have paired tube prevwith as amp. The beauty of my integrated is that I can make that happen.
