{"product_id":"schiit-audio-freya-hybrid-preamplifier-3","title":"Schiit Audio Freya+ Hybrid Preamplifier","description":"Schiit Audio Freya+: 2 balanced XLR and 3 single-ended RCA inputs, 1 balanced XLR and 2 single-ended RCA outputs, 128-step relay stepped attenuator, and selectable passive, JFET buffer, or active tube gain modes using four 6SN7 tubes. This balanced line-stage preamplifier provides unmatched flexibility, functioning as three distinct components in one chassis. A smart power system shuts off the tubes in passive or solid-state modes to prolong tube life, while the differential layout guarantees pure signal integrity from input to output.\n\nEarning a spot on Stereophiles Class A Recommended Components list, this unit is praised for a clean signal path acting as a straight wire with variable gain. Critics at The Absolute Sound and AudioKey Reviews praise the tube stage for its holographic soundstage, midrange weight, and pleasant warmth without sluggishness. Reviewers note it punches well above its class, combining a low noise floor and massive dynamic range while balancing technical precision with a classic low-feedback harmonic bloom.\n\nIntegrating this component provides an adaptable link that effortlessly transforms to match changing system needs. It invites listeners to toggle on the fly between absolute solid-state neutrality and rich analog depth, with relay-switched control ensuring perfect channel matching at any volume. For the enthusiast wanting to consolidate sources while exploring the distinct benefits of both solid-state accuracy and tube character, it delivers an uncompromising centerpiece that elevates any setup.","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210774798617,"sku":"100142","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/100142-3.jpg?v=1789778033","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/schiit-audio-freya-hybrid-preamplifier-3","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
