Schiit Freya Thump or pop sound

Hi guys just a quick question for anyone ,I just purchased a Schiit Freya thats being used with Mcintosh mc452 and D150.Using xlr and each time I power off the unit I get this loud Thump sound through my Wilson Sophia 3 speakers.The thump also can be heard through my dual subwoofers .I love this preamp but that noise is annoying.Ive tried muting before power off ,volume is always set to lowest.Just curious if anyone else is getting this ,Thanks for reading .

Turn the amp off BEFORE the preamp as that should render your system thumpless.

Back in the late 70s my band was using another keyboard players rig while subbing for them...powerful amps of some sort, a relatively largish pile of speakers, and a warning to our keyboard player to NOT turn the preamp off first...he forgets...fries the entire pile. Oops.

My REL subs go into a sort of "sleep" mode when everything else is off, and haven't thumped once yet...I sort of forget about them as they never seem to be part of the switching on and off ritual.
