I would not recommend the Class D Audio 254 unless you have a tube preamp. I bought one used for $180 for my son. It sounds great for the money but is a little harsh on the high frequencies. We fixed the issue by paring it with a cheap Grant Fidelity tube pre/dac using an NOS 1960 non-A frame Telefunken 6DJ8 tube which really smoothed the top end out and makes the 254 sing. A higher end tube pre like an old syrupy Conrad Johnson preamp would be a perfect match for the amp.
Give some thought to an AVA Synergy amp.
