Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ?


Hi all, 

I just got an mc275 power amp and need a pre. Don't want to spend a ton so was considering a Mcintosh c220 but its so pricy. Considering the Schiit Freya+ but will I regret it? I know they have a great trial period but I can't really do the same for the c220. Any comments?

I am sure the c220 will be better, but HOW much better is my question, I guess....? Thanks for the thoughts.

I've had the original  Freya for several years, using the tube stage exclusively, and have never felt the need for anything different. It's a really nice-sounding pre, IMO.
