A beginners problem with new Schiit stack, Saga 2 and Gjallarhorn

I'm sure the products are good.

Names can grate though - I probably would be wary of a Scots lager called "Pish Brew" if it existed. I like most of the beers made by BrewDog, however, such as "Punk IPA" in particular, as it makes me feel 'ard when I'm in the park shouting at pigeons, which I assume was their intent! :)
 
Yes, Minis are not my cup of tea - they are basically BMW 1-series these days, with a different body style, but the word "mini" implies "small" and nothing else; I can't see any other interpretations of the word. They are are not that small either! The original Mini of 1959 was, in the context of the day, a far better car than the current BMW version.
Thank you @Redacted , Yes, the Mini Clubman GT (early/late 70s, Mini 1275 GT) was a super Mini, especially with Hydrolastic Suspension (smooth & fast). Shame they didn't make a (Hot) Hatch version....

My father bought a brand new Mini Clubman estate back in '74. Went with him to collect it. You could probably fit the whole car in the boot of the modern one.

 
I had a similar issue with the Saga2. I didn't bother contacting their support. Basically a ground hum connecting my amp through XLR. It would do it with nothing else connected to the Saga2 so basically the Saga2 and my amp were not properly grounded through the XLR ground. I ended up customizing my XLR cable to disconnect both grounding cables and grounding the chassis of the Saga2 and my amp together with a separate wire. I don't know if that's an "approved" method but anyways it worked for me and I have been happy with the Saga2 since. I tried grounding one XLR and not the other and it did provide some improvement but best fix was a completely separate wire. It does show I think there is a little flaw in the Saga2 design as the XLR grounding should do the same thing as a separate ground you would think? Anyways, hope this helps.
