You are not an idiot. We humble reviewers do the best we can with what we own. The new Schiit preamplifiers are so interesting they should be reviewed by the magazines who have broader access to equipment for comparison.
The Saga requires extended break in. At least 200 hours for initial reactions. I've lost track of the hours on my Saga, but it continues to improve in minor ways with time in use. Perhaps the midrange glare you experienced will diminish with more hours.
The Saga is a revealing preamplifier. If the recording is not the best, it will be a little forgiving and just sound ok. Quality recordings played through the preamplifier become musical audio gems.

Did you have any problem match the amps to Saga? Seems it has much in common with the more expensive Wyred design?
Worked fine with my Musical Fidelity A 3.2cr amplifier.
As I mentioned in the post above, the Schiit preamps with to their unique price point, features and quality need a review by the audio magazines who have greater access to equipment. I really look forward to their insight into the Freya and Saga.
Also do not know he result of mixing balanced out put with unbalanced inputs..It seemed the Freya as I looked at the manual was perfectly capable of running completely unbalanced, like the Saga.. But I am not sure.Usually tube triode preamps weigh a ton....
