Freya is OK for the price. My Candela is a whole ‘nother level as they say.
Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade?
looking for some thoughts...
It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with my system. I’ve been running a Mac Mini streaming AIFF via Kimber USB into Bel Canto
Dac-3, running the DAC into Pass Labs X250.5 via balanced BlueJeans XLRs. Speakers are Dynaudio S5.4
I recently added a Rega P2 table and that forced me to break out the Adcom GFP-710 that I had laying around in order to be able to switch between sources. Adcom has a built in phono pre, but I bought Schiit Mani as well. I kind of like it a lot.
I feel that the Adcom may be the weakest link in the chain, and am looking at possibly upgrading a pre.
Seeking thoughts on Schiit Freya, or any other preamp used or new around $1k that would offer an upgrade in resolution, soundstaging, imaging, etc.
Balanced or single ended, tubes or solid state, with or without a built in phono pre.
Has anyone compared the Freya to any of the Adcom or comparable preamps, what can you share? What other preamps should I put on a list?
