Go for an easy EMI scheme which allows you to pay for your orders over a convenient period. A minimum purchase value of Rs. 500 is required to avail the EMI facility and the facility can be availed for tenures of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

This payment method is currently only available for customers using credit cards issued by Kotak, Axis, ICICI, IndusInd, HDFC, HSBC, SBI, AMEX, RBL & STANC Banks.

After checking out, Select the "Credit Card / Debit Card / Net Banking / EMI" option, which will then direct you to the PayU Payment gateway. Select your card and check the installment value and the overall interest charged on the transaction.

The interest rate charged varies from bank to bank. Here is a summary of the interest rates:

Bank	Min Amount (INR)	3 Months	6 Months	9 Months	12 Months	18 Months	24 Months
KOTAK	500	12%	12%	14%	14%	15%	15%

STANC	2000	13%	13%	14%	14%	15%	15%

These are annualized interest rates charged on a monthly reducing balance, which means that the principal amount is reduced with every EMI and the interest is calculated on the outstanding balance.

No processing or convenience fees are charged on any EMI transactions.

PLEASE NOTE:

Minimum Order value for EMI eligibility varies from Bank to bank.
EMI purchases need to be made on a single credit card and cannot be split across multiple cards.
EMI monthly schedules begin from the next card billing statement post the transaction date as determined by your bank.

DESCRIPTION

The Schiit Freya S comes with a unique Nexus gain stage which is designed to seamlessly connect single-ended and balanced sources. It converts both outputs in a single and discrete gain stage to deliver excellent performance across all modes. You get two unique levels of gain — a gain of 1 that acts as a differential buffer and a gain of 4 for high volume. It has a 128-step relay-switch for clear volume and to offer perfect channel matching and low distortion.

The Schiit Freya S has a volume knob for added efficiency. In the remote control mode, the potentiometer adheres to the remote setting. The custom remote control allows you to control the volume, output switching, input switching and muting. For a reliable remote-control system to integrate your digital gear with the rest of the system, you can stack the Freya S with any other Schiit DAC.

Schiit - Freya S

FAQs

: It’s pretty straightforward. Freya S uses our new Nexus™ differential gain stage to replace Freya’s tube stage. Otherwise they are functionally the same.
: Yep, because it has a whole lot less inside of it. Heck, it doesn’t have a whole 300V supply, from transformer onward, nor the management of tube power, nor the DC heaters. Plus no tubes. It’s simpler, and therefore less expensive.
: Because you like tubes—and because Freya+ is still one insane bargain in the tube preamp world.
: You should know we don’t do that. We provide information, you make your own decisions. Even if that decision is to not buy our stuff. It’s cool. There’s plenty of good gear out there.
: If you have only one source, and it has a volume control, maybe you don’t need a preamp. But if you have a system with more than one source, and you want convenient remote input switching and remote volume control, a preamp is a good idea. You can also pair it with our DACs for convenient remote volume control, since our preamps don’t cost like the total debt of a small nation-state.
: Absolutely. Because in the last 20 years or so, audio pricing has gotten really stupid. Go ahead. Start looking at preamps that use a sophisticated, perfectly-matched relay-switched stepped attenuator instead of a volume pot, and you’ll quickly come to the conclusion that Freya S is in a class by itself. That is, a class with a three-digit price tag, not a four-digit price tag (that doesn’t start with, like “5,” either.)
: That’s cool. We like smart design and efficient construction that make great sound affordable to more people. But if you literally have $100 bills hand-stitched into toilet paper so you can wipe your butt in wretched excess, then by all means, find something that costs more. Just don’t think it’ll automatically be any better.
: Yes, no problem. Just don’t expect it to convert single-ended to balanced or anything like that. It is, after all, passive.
: Right. Nexus converts single-ended inputs to balanced (and balanced to SE, for that matter.) It provides two levels of gain: 1 (like a buffer) or 5 (for systems that need more gain.)
: Nexus is what we’ve been referring to as the “holy grail gain stage” internally, during development. Now, maybe we’re a little too much into Monty Python, or maybe we’re a bit touched in the head. But it took a long time to come up with Nexus, which is a current-feedback stage with nested differential amplification, and has the following interesting qualities:

It does not exhibit the N/N+1 gain relationship when fed a single-ended signal, so it seamlessly converts single-ended to balanced.

It also converts balanced to single-ended.

It also is quite happy to amplify, differentially, a differential signal for differential output.

It does this without summers, op-amps, or any other tricks; it is a single, discrete, differential stage.
: Nope.
: Nope.
: As far as we can tell. Of course, we don’t know everything, nor are we perfect.
: Unlike a typical potentiometer, a relay-stepped attenuator gives you perfect channel matching down to the lowest level of the volume knob. It also makes cool clicking noises when you turn the knob. In our minds, this is the best way of doing volume control. There’s only a couple of thin-film resistors in the signal path at all times, rather than a potentiometer wiper. And it doesn’t use a “volume control chip,” which we believe proper only to cheap receivers. But then again, a lot of people think we’re crazy.
: Then you need Saga+ or Saga S, Freya S’s little sisters.
: From Wikipedia, In Norse mythology, Freyja (/ˈfreɪə/; Old Norse for "(the) Lady") is a goddess associated with love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr, war, and death. We have no idea what seior is, and the war and death stuff doesn’t sound so fun, but the first five items we can go along with just fine. Disturbed? Don’t be. It’s just a name.
