Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?

My Freya + arrived and man am I impressed. Quad Matched Tung Sols. Running Fully Loaded Odyssey amp to a set of Maggie 1.7 After 5 hours I don’t want to cut it off. Thankful for an empty house. I have read many posts claiming excellent synergy with a tube preamp, a/b amp and maggies. The difference is night and day with the Schiit in the line. Mind Blown. They did not lie. I use my DAC attenuation and leave the Freya+ open.

Yeah, the Freya+ is for real, nice to hear impressions from another new owner.  Nice system btw, Maggies and the Oddyssey amp.  With the Freya's state of the art volume control, it might be worth it to try running the DAC at full volume and use the Freya's.

I think word is getting out, the Freya is sold out and on back order.

213Runnin,
    Good point. I only use one source, my Dac. It has 99 step .5db linear volume control with only one resistor in the signal path at any setting. (NuPrime Dac10)
  I don't know how the Freya+ Volume control is designed.  Didn't see any detail on the website or in the manual...maybe someone else knows?

@phcollie,

I thought all new Freya+ units were being delivered with JJ tubes.  Have they gone back to Tung Sol, or did you just buy a quad?  If you did, did you compare and can you describe the difference between the two brands?  Thanks.

On the Freya volume, there is a small explanation on the webpage about the relay switched stepped attenuator volume control.  128 steps, but I’m not sure how many dB per step.

 It sounds like much the same design as what’d in your dac, except with resistors.  It probably won’t make a difference which volume you employ.
