Preamp suggestion for Class d Audio sds 470c

I have taken the plunge and decided to purchase this amp based on all of favorable reviews I have read in various forums. So far I have turned up very little info about a good preamp to match with it. Can any current or former owners of this amp share their experiences? I am open to either tube or solid state. Thanks.

The Jeff Rowland Capri, at around $2k used, should be included on your list. BTW, J Rowland was one of the first high end designers to adopt Class D.

I love my d-sonic m3 1200S with 1,6 Maggie's.
The sound is tube like from a class D amp at unreal price. They can't stay this cheap forever. Had bel canto Ref1000m and the d-sonics to my ears is much clearer crisp yet the mids and highs are soooooo smooth.

Check them before spending $5k or 10k for that matter. Paired with Shindi pre and your set
