In Reply to: RE: Schiit Freya is now available posted by scruffy_ on December 24, 2016 at 08:30:24
Schiit is not the first to make what I suspect to be a great sounding preamp. I never used the Don Allen, but I've heard many audiophiles rave about it. My point, which I hope that the Freya lives up to, is that a quality sounding tube preamp need not be that expensive. I'm on a strict budget, and I'm not looking for glamor, but a preamp that improves my listening pleasure given I listen to music 8-12 hours a day!

Preamp: Older Django passive TVC Preamp from DIY Hifi Supply
Amp: W4S ST 500
Speakers: Magnepan 1.6s with a heavily modified crossover
DAC: Schiit Gungnir Multibit
Interconnects: Neotech NEI-3004 Balanced Deep Cryo
Speaker Cable: Solid Silver Homebuilt
Power Conditioner: PS Audio UPC-200
Music: Classical with lots of choral music
I'm more of a music lover than an audiophile. My like of classical music is perfect for my Maggies which have an excellent midrange but lacks in the low end. My music with the Django passive is going to be hard to beat in that it provides a good amount of transparency and is very pleasing to my ears.

Thats nice. If your Django supports balanced where you can utilize the 4V out instead of the 2V unbalanced on the Gungnir then you are good. I think you might like the TVC better. The Gungnir out Z is 75 ohms which is very good cuz the W4S has a 60K input Z and 27db gain and needs over 2 volts for full out. If youve been using RCA's then the Freya should impress. Regardless it will be fun and versatile for many systems and fun to play with. I like 6SN7's. Looking forward to a report.
