Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya

Hello all, I'm looking for opinions regarding my next upgrade. I will be moving from an older NAD pre-amp. Now that I have a Rogue Atlas Magnum III in power duties, I'm looking for a new pre. 

Sources MoFi Ultra deck TT with Ultra Phono Pre. NAD CD player

Amp: Rogue Atlas Magnum III

Speakers: Klipsch Heresy IV

Sub SVS PB2000 pro

Both the Rogue and Schiit are my top contenders. 

Thank you!

The Rogue. Schiit is built to a very low price point. You gets what you pay for.

I am listening to the following budget system in a big room as I type this, and I recommend you do a home demo of the Freya+ just to save money.

- KEF LS50 + KEF KC62 sub

- Schitt Freya+

- Benchmark DAC3B

- Benchmark AHB2

- Fibre optical streaming

The combo of the Freya+ and the AHB2 is excellent. It sounded great with a warmer DAC and my very bright headphones. Now in the living room with a brighter DAC the sound is still fantastic, I am not much of a tube guy and this Freya+ does not go too overboard with the distortion.

I like the Freya+ with the AHB2 over the KRELL Duo 175XD and CODA #8 that I use in the office. The AHB2 is not warm at all so maybe that is why I like the pairing.
