This product is available for pre-order now, with an ETA of early May.

This product is Forkbeard compatible. Forkbeard module is not included and must be purchased separately.

Freya+ F is a true high-end, balanced, remote-control preamp. Switch between passive, differential buffer, and differential tube gain modes, and enjoy the fine control of a 128-step relay-switched stepped attenuator volume control with perfect channel matching.

Whisper-Silent Tube Stage—With Tube Shutdown
Now, you can enjoy a tube preamp without the hiss and hum of classic designs. Freya+ offers super-quiet tube modes with DC heaters and semi-circlotron, noise-cancelling output stages. Better yet, the tubes turn off when you’re not using them! That’s right, both the tube heater and high voltage rails go away when not in use, so you can preserve lifetime of costly tubes.

Forkbeard™: Total Control is Just the Start
Freya+ F includes the option to add Forkbeard, the only multi-product, multi-stack, unified control system. One iOS app gives you total control of Freya (and many other Schiit devices).

The Ultimate Volume Control
The benefits of a relay-switched stepped attenuator for volume are clear. Compared to a potentiometer, they give you essentially perfect channel matching and near-unmeasurable distortion. However, some preamps with relay-stepped attenuators confuse you with buttons and screens. Not Freya+. Freya+ has a volume knob that works just like a volume knob—just grab and turn.

Noise: inaudible
Distortion: unmeasurable by APx555 in passive mode, better than any transducer even in tube mode
Heat: gets quite warm; not surprising for a tube-based, Class A device
Size: shelf- and rack-friendly, not super desk-friendly
