Suggest you prod their "senior tech' to provide an answer.I am still trying to decide if there is actually "something wrong" or not. Don't want to pay to ship it back, and have then say it is normal.....

Has Jason commented on this issue at all? I don't recall seeing anything, but easy to overlook. I've sent my Freya in as soon as I got it - early adopter - multiple times actually. Something just didn't seem right with it. Schiit kept on telling me it was fine. I ended up keeping it . My tubes are 14db (presumably) louder than passive/JFET. I have 85db speakers and hear a very low hum when my ear is pressed to the speaker when in tube mode. This is normal, and I don't have a problem with this given my speakers. My concern is if I change my speakers to more efficient ones how bearable would the hum be. If Schitt resolved this issue in a design or firmware update, I'd like to know.

I've read this thread while it progressed, and once again in full a couple of months back, I think there's a guy, or two? who might've thought there's not that much difference between the tube and rest of the modes?My guess is he wouldn't want to comment on this in an open forum...
Well, at least two. I contacted Schiit about it and they said it was normal. I asked if they will update the site and they'd pass it on to the higher ups.I've read this thread while it progressed, and once again in full a couple of months back, I think there's a guy, or two? who might've thought there's not that much difference between the tube and rest of the modes?
How many are actually reporting this, as in, is this even a thing
OK, thanks for confirming this! I'll certainly keep this in mind - as I speculated (with the friend) in my measurement post, My friend thought that perhaps an RCA -10dB attenuator would get rid of the hum as well, in my case. I might have not noticed the hum without the gain. And I do have a quite the difference between passive/JFET vs. tubes.Well, at least two. I contacted Schiit about it and they said it was normal.
