Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?


Any opinions on this version versus the previous?

I’m glad you’re enjoying your Freya +, 213running. My Freya S is scheduled for Friday delivery. 
What amp are you running with the Freya +?
Cheers,

The Vidar, also from Schiit.  It too was an audibly improved model over my mid fi stuff, though not as dramatic.  With amps, I think it’s easier to design a decent sounding performer.

thanks for those performance specs. i am looking hard at this Freya+ although a ChiFi model is alot easier on my finances right now...   
Well, everyone has a budget, and has decisions to make.  That's why I'm so enthusiastic about Schiit, the sound is pretty much amazing for what you pay.  I'd suggest if the Freya+ is too steep for you, look at the Freya S.  It has the same impressive specs, but no tube stage. 


I wish people wd stop slating JJ tubes based on forum stuff from 10 yrs ago. I use JJ KT88 in a SET and 5751 in a pre w no problems.
The SET has been totally abused by the wife, switching off then on, unplugging stuff causing terrible noises etc. Tubes still work fine
