Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?


Any opinions on this version versus the previous?

I wish people wd stop slating JJ tubes based on forum stuff from 10 yrs ago. I use JJ KT88 in a SET and 5751 in a pre w no problems.
The SET has been totally abused by the wife, switching off then on, unplugging stuff causing terrible noises etc. Tubes still work fine
Rrebello, are you sure it's better than the Cj 3se? I own one and now you got me thinking of trying that piece of schit!😊
Have had a Freya S in my system for about 5 days nowIt took a while to break in  I needed to limit the output of my DAC to 2v single endedNeeded to use shorting caps on all unused inputs to prevent irritating rf Superb for $700 will compare it to Spectrals 30SV next week
@mach1acoustics,

I've had my Freya S for three days now. I am enjoying it. I look forward to your comparison to the Spectral.

Cheers,

My Freya + arrived and man am I impressed. Quad Matched Tung Sols. Running Fully Loaded Odyssey amp to a set of Maggie 1.7 After 5 hours I don’t want to cut it off. Thankful for an empty house. I have read many posts claiming excellent synergy with a tube preamp, a/b amp and maggies. The difference is night and day with the Schiit in the line. Mind Blown. They did not lie. I use my DAC attenuation and leave the Freya+ open.
