Schiit Freya+(Plus)

The odd thing is that the other 2 sound modes are dead silent. But when I switch to the Tube mode, I get the buzzing sound.

I will order 2 pairs of the XLR cables and see that will get rid of the buzzing sound.

Another question I have is when you turn off the power of the Freya, I heard a loud thud or boom sound coming from the speakers. I hope my speakers are not damage. Are you suppose to turn off the amplifier first before you turn off the power from the Freya? I thought my speakers last night just blew up. ha ha ha

First thing, EMAIL SCHIIT using the email form on their website. Bet they will tell you XLR is not the solution to tube mode buzz. Could be a tube not fully seated. Or a defective tube receptacle. Or . . .

Meanwhile, always turn Freya volume to 0, then mute, and put amp in standby mode before powering off Freya. Don’t put your speakers at risk!

Very similar experiences, I have the modi multibit, Yggdrasil, Loki, Magni, Freya+, Aegir And others I gave as gifts. 

the Yggy is a permanent fixture in my main rig.. The Freya+ sits on the shelf, the others are in my 2nd setup. While Schiit makes some great gear and value, They can become a weak point in some upper end rigs.

Hi I ordered my Freya+. I have an XLR dac output and a SE power amp. I understand Tung sol is good enough but I will try Linlai Elite E-6sn7 quad when I want to spend 400 dollar on tubes. If it sounds good I'll tell

@Hickamore I would like to purchase the Freya plus to replace the Proton AP-400 PRO preamp (SS) currently paired with the Proton dual mono AA-461 PRO amplifier(SS) , to give more finesse, detail and clarity to the sound. What do you think? Do I need to be careful of anything in particular?
Thanks, Pietro
