About the Freya+
The Schiit Audio Freya+ is a high-end tube preamplifier that combines three operational modes in a single chassis: passive mode for transparent, solid-state-like performance; differential buffer mode using JFET topology; and active tube gain mode utilizing four 6SN7 tubes for 12dB of gain. The preamp features whisper-quiet tube operation with automatic tube shutdown when not in use to preserve tube life, eliminating the hiss and hum associated with classic tube designs. It seamlessly converts between single-ended and balanced signals and includes a motorized remote control for source selection, phase inversion, and mute functions. The Freya+ is renowned for delivering high-end sonic performance at an accessible price point, offering a warm, holographic soundstage with smooth vocal delivery in tube mode while maintaining transparency and clarity in passive mode.
