Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
Makes sense, thanks,bass traps seem relatively small. Is it just alittle goes a long way? Or an ample amount of bass traps will be more beneficial? How much is too much?

Does a bass trap absorb bass (ie.reduce amount of bass heard in a room) or make bass better? Will i hear improvement in bass? Thanks 
Whats diff between. Ht bypass vs using a passive connection-unity gain
How do i share emails.  Email states what website says.  Device is marketed as a ht bypass capable solution.  Is this wrong?We all agree it can be dangerous to hearing.  Its easy to make a mistake, and u risk serious harm to hearing..  not good fo...

Emails i have received reflect same comments as on their website.why drussell are you so protective of this co?Why is it so scary for them to state ht language in manual, if they did would it be so bad?  Its already clear they support ht use.  War...

Free trial expired by now and a hassle.  I will pack it away and let my heirs discover it someday or will leave it to an out of favor family member. I will mark it with a huge warning label.   Just sad that schiit can not resolve this serious issue.

Drussell, whats your point?schiit markets device as a home theatre bypass solution per specific wording to this effect on their website.  The manual is not the whole story.  They have a problem in my view.  I will be scrapping my freya soon.

Schiit clearly states that preamp can be used for home theatre use, see the ‘choosing preamp and amp’ section of website.its misleading if its not a good idea to use for home theater.  For me, it appears dangerous, so i plan to replace it.

Hey drussell, i said i made a mistake.  Did u not read what i wrote.  Facts about freya remain the same.  It is not a great preamp for ht use, despite ht references it made in their manual.i

Advice to buy freya came from this site. Good answers. Simply stated freya mis represents itself as a preamp for ht. I made a mistake and seems some understand and some dont.reubants time is soooo valuable.  Mine is too.

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...

Maxwave, abit hard to follow but it appears it is risky if u screw up ?  Guess most have this serious problem.

High quality a/b source switcher?  Didnt know there were any.  Remote control? This would be awesome to find.integrating a highend tube preamp into ht is a nightmare!

Maxwave,  so if you change outputs that depend on preamp volume controls it could be very loud if u dont set back preamp volume control?  Ie.  Since preamp set to 80.

In order to get any sound from my avr, i have to set the volume control on preamp all the way up.and then remember to set it way back when switching inputs or else i lose my hearing.does this make sense?  Unity gain (volume control up all the way)...

Mr lemonhaze,thanks for your thoughtfulness. I need to learn more about bass freqs.  So much too learn.
