And it starts...

 
Way to go, Jason, it's perfect.  Congratulations to your company.  This one is for family, the Freya will be for me.

Small miss on page 2 of the Saga manual--unless the remote doesn't come in the box.

i just read through the manual, thanks.  Got some laughs out of it, too.

 
I loved the part about the power switch:
 
3 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Pretty simple, right? 
And yes, it’s on the back.
If you have the preamp in a place where you can’t easily reach it,
just plug it in to a power strip or use a remote controlled outlet.
Yes, those are a thing.

Are you guys (Jason/Schiit) going to sell replacement 6SN7 tubes under accessories too?

 

[Marshall Hance]

So... What's that?

So... What's that?

 
Modem port.

 

[leafy7382]

My guess is a programming/testing port for the microprocessor

 

[Jason Stoddard]

My guess is a programming/testing port for the microprocessor

Yep.

Any update on Freya release date?

Just bought my saga. Thank you for that. I asked for just that product. And there it was. And made in America.

For us old guys, with a Mani and TT, and a reel to reel, and a cassette player, and a tube FM stereo tuner, and CD player, and a SYS, and a MODI MB, and a big ass quad KT88 x2 amp, we now have our dream system. Thank you Jason and Mike and all the other guys.

“And don’t answer until you’ve heard it.”
 
I sighed. Okay. Fine. I was playing with some decent op-amps for what would eventually become Fulla. I was willing to admit that, in some cost-constrained cases, op-amps could be OK. But I was also working on an all-new discrete, inherently balanced topology that was unlike anything else out there, and it was insane.*
 
*Aside: Cease the heavy breathing about possible new products. All-new, never-before-done stuff takes a lot of baking time. It’ll be done when it’s done. That’s all I can say for now.

Just got quite tickled by Jason mentioning the Jotunheim in this thread back in 2014.

Hey some of us are young with that kit. We thank Schiit too! So hype right now.

Young guys have a kit like that?! Awesome. We will share out audio reviews. 
 
Saga ships!!!!

  Can I ask what your flea watt amp is ?

It's this guy right here: https://fleawatt.blogspot.com/2016/09/beta-testing-amp-2-available.html
 
I got it as a budget amp to run a pair of Blumenstein Orcas (which are still being built) while I research, audition, and save up for a SET or other low-powered tube amp. It's currently running with a pair of Andrew Jones bookshelf speakers and sounds not terrible. I am looking forward to adding the Blumensteins though.
