The most expensive part of setting up a 2 channel system can be the room itself. Build a new room off the back of the house? Kick the kid out of their bedroom? Move?
 
This is not to say I'm not happy Schiit has released these new affordable pre-amps.
Nor is it Schiit's responsiblity to build products that fit into my lifestyle.
And I know, "don't have a place for new audiophile component X" definitely rates as a first world problem. Which is to say, not a big deal.

Has anybody an idea why there will be no 12V trigger at the new preamps? Jason didn´t explained why he decided not to have one.

How so? We're discussing Schiit's latest announced products and how to integrate them into our existing systems or set up new systems with them. For a change it seems entirely on point to me…
.

I think it might have been referring to the - when is 2 channel not 2 channel riddle (answer when there's a television in the room

)
 
I guess I'll have to buy another 3 speakers (and maybe a sub) because my lounge room sound is definitely not mono, can't be 2 channel because there's a TV. So I reckon in must be multi-channel but I only have 2 speakers

  Loved the Saga of Saga chapter! Way to make me want something I never knew I needed!
 
Is it wrong to get a Saga to use it as a fancy volume control and only use 1 in and 1 out? (If so that kind of makes me want to do it more)

 
I'm considering Saga for this purpose. I currently run my Genelecs via SYS and Bifrost Uber, fed by optical connection from my TV, and it's a small inconvenience to always get up from the couch to change the volume. It's not ideal, but I live a small apartment for now.
 
I was hoping that the preamps would include a built-in DAC so I could sell my old Schiit away, but I can live with this. Does the Saga stack with Bifrost by the way?

You can stack them for sure. From the pics, Saga's chassis is just as big as Jotunheim and Bifrost. Your Genelecs will sing a like a higher end speakers when you switch from passive to active preamp. Comparing my current Asgard 2 and SYS, Asgard 2 as active preamp resolves noticeably better than SYS passive preamp.

Nice to know, thanks!

We'll have to wait and see what the features are I guess.
 
I'm very interested in a Freya, but if it doesn't have a 12V trigger or at least a switched 120V outlet so you can create a 12V trigger, it's kind of a deal breaker since there would be no way to switch your power amp with the preamp.  My current system uses a trigger to control a SurgeX and actually switches the entire system when I turn on the preamp, except of course the Yggy.

I have been using iHome wifi outlets for remote on off of power, they work great!

I've been reaching around the back, LOL. Luckily it's not too inconvenient with my setup

Freya does not have a 12 volt trigger.

Jutenheim or Freya ? Hmmm .
I have a active preamp I don't like (too digital) with a Yggy and Genelec powered monitors in my small library . I don't listen to headphones much .
Which one ? What do you think ?

 

[theveterans]

Freya IMO for the tube stage

Yeah that's what I'm thinking .

Freya does not have a 12 volt trigger. 

 
Because, these are not meant to be turned on and off multiple times a day.  Equipment like this is meant to be left on.
 
If you need a sequencer for the power to your equipment, I'm sure there's someone out there that makes a power-strip like device that can do the sequencing for you.

re: 12V trigger.  Another demand of the remote control generation.  My 2-channel gear has no 12V triggers.  It's called "turn on each power switch by hand."
