Schiit Freya+ or Saga+? Vidar or Aegir?

The output voltage of a line source component should be shown on the specs page of their marketing material or owners manual.  

The "more power is always better" mantra is the more popular approach these days -- I think the popularity of Class D amps which have lots of watts for their size/weight/cost has fueled this sentiment.  As noted previously, I've tried both approaches and the Aegir is working spectacularly for me. However, as they say, YMMV.  

The problem with amp specs is that they are primarily static measurements while the music signal is incredibly complex and dynamic. And, not every manufacturer has exactly the same method for measuring the specs they do list.  So, while numbers are important and meaningful, it still boils down to what YOU hear when YOU listen.

From the comparisons I’ve read I got the impression that the Aegir is hands down better if you don’t need more power. I’ve also heard they sound even better run as monoblocks. (In which case you can’t use the Saga because you need XLR to run in mono) I never even considered the Vidar for my setup. 

Most digital sources - anything with a DAC - run 2V peak out. Typical phono pre out is 300mV peak (I’m not a turntable person, so I could be wrong)
Look up the specs on your sources. Saga works for me because I’m only running digital. 

what did you pick? i found my Saga + to really add something to the music even when not in tube mode. very strange you can barely tell the difference between tube mode but the sound change without the SAGA at all is quite big . not to mention its extremely well made for the price. solit aluminum remote , stepped volume, many outputs, quality internals just great measurements as far as distortion , im buying another one for 250 bucks used. freya is just too much at 600 but im sure its great

If I were to purchase a Saga I would do so to use the tube stage. To me there would be no other reason to own one. The mentioned high output impedance of the passive stage would also bother me. 

With a room of your size I would think the Aegir would work fine providing the lowest impedance isn't below 4 ohms. I would prefer the class A amplifier.

I believe Schiit offers 15 days return. 

I have a Schiit Raganock 2 integrated and I recently asked Schiit what kind of improvement I could expect with a Freya Vidar or Aegir combo. It surprised me that the person I talked to didn’t think it would justify the change. Interesting as I like tubes and only bought the Raggy because the others were backordered at the time. I've been on the Rag for about a year now with no complaints. Actually, I bought a Muzishare X7 tube amp and while I like the tube sound, the similarity of tonality and smoothness of the two amps is remarkable. I expected dramatic differences. The Raggy has a good headphone amp and two precuts for subwoofers so high marks for functionality.
