I only have digital sources that already exceed the input sensitivity of my amps (1.2V). More preamp gain wouldn’t help my system so the Saga+ works fine for me. I have noticed slight differences in gain with different tubes but not enough to matter. I’m not sure how much “tubiness” it imparts with the hybrid tube/SS buffer because I don’t have much personal experience for comparison.
if you have a low level source or want what should be more tube character, the Freya+ has 12dB of gain. If you’re still in your 15 day trial, I think Schiit waives at least part of the restock fee if you’re trading up.
