Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?

I had a Freya and returned it during the trial period.
The noise heard when using the remote was too
annoying. 

This is what I've been waiting for, I bought the Saga instead of the original Freya just on the hopes that they would do this!!! Tube shut down is AWESOME.

@ghasley - wow, that is substantial. Thank you very much for taking the time to provide that information. I'm more than a little embarrassed that I obviously didn't do enough research of my own. I'm perfectly happy with my Freya, but I can see the draw of the Freya+ to those on the fence considering a purchase. Happy (quiet) listening :).

No worries at all! I’m far from being a knowledge base for Schiit gear, just a casual observer. They make amazing gear that most everyone can afford and enjoy. Frankly, I wish they had come along before I went down the rabbit hole chasing sound in ever more expensive ways. All the best and enjoy your Freya, it is a truly fine piece of gear and when you factor in the price to value ratio, there may not be a better proposition anywhere.

I ordered a Freya on 3.30.2019 and received it about a month later because they were backordered. Went with the upgrade tubes which brought the price to just under $800.00. Now the price is significantly lower for that same unit. It would've been nice to know that they had an upgraded version coming in just a few weeks. No real complaints with the unit but having the ability to shut down the tubes without pulling them out  when using the jfet and passive mode would make things easier. I would've waited for the newer model had I known. Maybe they'll offer an upgrade sometime soon.
