Schiit amps, freya preamp

The Vidar has MANY issues with going into protection when speakers run below 4 ohms. There are countless threads to back this up. The Aegir is a lower power, sort of class a but not really that can’t drive anything challenging. 
Neither will power magneplanars well. This has also been well documented. If an amp manufacturer doesn’t want to tell you what topology it is - run. Run away and take your money with you.

As for preamps, the Freya has good specs but has a host of issues that spans all of its revisions. Thought it has improved many still find the chassis rings, also gets hot, loose single ended connections, supplied tubes are unusable, and the volume ticking sound, which is a “feature”. The Saga is a solid state preamp with a tube buffer. It seems to be ok for what it is and what it costs.

Their amps are somewhat gutless so unless you’re running 90+db speakers I’d go elsewhere. Preamps are decent but not spectacular. They are comparatively inexpensive however.

Sorry but no. 
Know George is a shill and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was actually an employee shilling in various forums.

As for me, I had a Freya and a Vidar and nothing but problems. They sounded good for sure, but massive issues. I found a thread on head-fi where I discovered I was far from alone with many issues. This lead to other threads on other forums. Some of the problems were design issues and some manufacturing issues. I sent mine back and the 2 people I dealt with at Schiit were absolutely nice and everything got returned. I was bummed!
Now, for Mr. Republican accusing me of trolling, I have 4 Schiit products in use now and at least 2 of them are endgame pieces and will stay indefinitely. Nice pieces and work great but also punch above their price point.
