Some preamp manuf adverise ht bypass, and some say u can use a passive output(unity gain).

You just need to buy a different preamp if you want HT bypass. 

The Schiit Freya does not have HT bypass and it is not mentioned in the Owner’s Manual.

Have you read the owners manual?
@jumia  - Are you also @emergingsoul ? Same issue, some pre-amp. Same time.

Just want to insure I'm not duplicating my replies to the same person. I've already replied on the subject, at great length and significant personal time, to the other thread started by @emergingsoul.
Advice to buy freya came from this site. Good answers. Simply stated freya mis represents itself as a preamp for ht. I made a mistake and seems some understand and some dont.

reubants time is soooo valuable.  Mine is too.  
Freya does not misrepresent itself. Neither does Schiit misrepresent the Freya.

This site has nothing to do with Freya.

You did not perform proper research. Own your error.
That’s a good question.

Could the Schiit Freya in passive mode at full volume act as ht bypass?
. .with no degradation in SQ signal?

I don't see why not :-)

Iow agree with drussell
