Schiit - shipments stopped?

I recently and finally received freya+.  Sound is better than what I had. A well built nice looking unit, except for ......

ONE PROBLEM,  it can be DANGEROUS to use.  Gain setting for ht output must be set all the way up to enable sound to flow thru unit, before ht volume controls are used.  WARNING, when u change inputs from ht to a dac u must turn gain all the way back. Otherwise dac will come on at full volume.  USERS beware, freya can be dangerous to your health!

surprised this is allowed to be sold to consumers.  It has a design problem and there are no warnings in their manual.  I have restricted use of system.   unfortunately, I will be scraping it and buying something else, too damn risky to users.  Do not drink while changing settings.

There is no HT output to be switched to on the Freya, so that's a problem of the input sensitivity of whatever your feeding the Freya into.

Passive output is what the ht box flows through as intended, ie ht output.

Please clarify about input sensitivity problem you referred too. This freya is connected to a marantz avr.

thanks

Sounds like you are treating the Freya's "passive" mode option as a HT bypass.   

That's not what the passive mode was intended for and nothing in their literature or owners manual indicates anything about its use as a HT bypass feature.  

Sounds like you are blaming them for your off-label use. 

A preamp with a HT bypass will designate one input to bypass the volume control and be set at unity gain. The Freya+ does not incorporate a HT bypass function. If you need a preamp with this function, you need to find something else. A simple input select switch box between the preamp and amp may suffice.
