What if I said you could buy a Class A-B amplifier that will give you 100W into 8 ohms, and a preamplifier with balanced inputs and outputs that lets you run with and without tubes and includes a remote control, both for $1598? Well, Schiit Audio says you can.

Their new “intelligent” Class A-B stereo/mono power amplifier, the Vidar, sells for $699. And their new passive or active, solid-state or tube, balanced and remoted-controlled (is that enough features for you?) preamplifier, the Freya+, sells for $899.

Schiit Audio Freya Preamplifier

That is an impressive number of features and possibilities for a surprisingly low price of $1598. It’s also quite a big pile of promises. Does Schiit deliver on these promises with these two new components? I intend to find out. I’ll run them both in as many different configurations I can, with different types of speakers and sources, and compare them to several different amplifiers and preamplifiers, many of which far exceed their selling price.
