Schitt has been around for several years now, and with innovations like this, I think they’ll be around for a long time.
Mike Moffat’s no fool, he designed everything that was worth listening to at Theta Audio.
Schiit are making stuff that sound just as good as anything, and it’s got the goods inside were it counts.
Without "glitzing" up the outside with expensive CNC machined chassis like the big $$$$$$ stuff does for the glitz queens to buy. As they (the glitz queens) think it makes things sound better if it looks a million dollars, while staring at it in between their speakers as they listen to music.

BTW glitzy’s, equipment racks in between the speakers are the worst thing you can do for your stereo imaging and depth perception. Far better off with it on the side or behind you.

I just saw they have the rca version for only$349, wow this is cheap....
Yes the Saga, this is the bargain one at half the price of the Freya, same fet or tube output stage or passive. Just RCA only. The sound should be even better from the fet or tube outputs, unless you want to drive many meters of interconnect only then the balanced will come into it’s own.
