    The new Schiit Kara seems much better than Freya S, any info on it?

    Yesterday I was researching about Schiit Freya S and Freya+ and today saw that Freya S is no longer available and there is this new Kara. It includes headphone AMP and many more performance boosts. Can we expect major changes or is it better to get Freya+?
