Whats diff between. Ht bypass vs using a passive connection-unity gain

@jumia,

What pre-amp are you using? Is it an active pre-amp or a passive pre-amp? Or does it have a combination of both active and passive output choices?

It is the schiit freya preamp which has passive output and a buffer output for tubes.

so that mixture of outputs can be risky.  Not sure what else passive would be used other than with ht avr, albeit not ideal  Not sure why schiit cant simply allow signal pass thru with out involving a passive output.

Seriously?

Is this some campaign against Schiit?

Or are people just incapable of taking responsibility for their actions?

If you don't like it or know how to use it, why not return it?

At 0 attenuation, the signal is, effectively, passing through.

It's only "risky" if the operator doesn't understand the concept and how it works.

You just need to buy a different preamp if you want HT bypass. 

The Schiit Freya does not have HT bypass and it is not mentioned in the Owner’s Manual.

Have you read the owners manual?
