Schiit Freya S Preamplifier Review

[PeteL]

I have the Freya+, and in passive mode, driven by Topping D90SE via XLR through the Freya+>VTV Purifi via XLR to F208's I listened to a live recording of a Joe Bonamassa concert at full volume and it was loud but not painfully so and I listened at this level for about 5 minutes. So it is possible, and indeed probably some will listen at full volume depending on source and other components in the chain.

That's my experience too. I run the levels pretty high, and I have 29 dB Ncore500 amps.
