DESCRIPTION
BE PASSIVE OR ACTIVE: IT'S YOUR CHOICE
The Schiit Saga+ is a hi-fi preamp that has two modes to choose from. The Active Mode is best used for when you have to drive long cables and want to take advantage of the warm tube sound. This mode uses the 6SN7 based hybrid tube buffer. The result? A mean machine running on 200V for incredibly low levels of distortion. In the Passive Mode, you use it with a remote-controlled passive preamp which is apt for various systems.
CONTROLS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The Saga+ is made for those who desire the best for their home audio setup. The custom remote control allows you to control volume, input switching, output switching, and muting. Switch on your music with the stepped attenuator that uses a relay switch so that your volume is clear. If you are using the remote control, the volume setting matches that of the remote.

FAQs
How is Saga+ different than the original Saga?
It's really just a few things:
1. Saga+ has a motorized pot that tracks the remote control volume, whereas Saga did not; which provides a continuous physical reference for the volume level.
2. Saga+ uses DC heaters for the tube buffer stage, which provides a lower noise floor when in buffer mode.
3. Saga+ uses our new 'fastenerless' chassis design for a sleeker overall look.
Why would I need a preamp?
If you're using a power amp without volume control, you'll need a preamp. The preamp allows you to control volume, switch inputs, etc.
So how do you make it so cheap?
By making a ton of them at a time, by using automated surface-mount assembly, and through smart design that doesn't need a ton of hand-work to solder and route wiring. And by selling direct. No magic.
So what's this about it being passive or active? How does that work?
Passive preamps are great if you have short cable runs and high-impedance inputs to your power amp. On the other hand, active preamps give you the ability to run longer cables and drive low-impedance inputs on some power amps. Saga+ is both. Switch it to passive mode to bypass the tube buffer, or switch it to active mode to use the tube buffer. It's up to you.
And this bizarre hybrid tube buffer? What's that?
There are plenty of tube buffers out there, but ours is unique. It's actually a hybrid push-pull tube buffer, featuring a dual triode tube and a pair of BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), with a unique transconductance-equalizing network that pairs the tube and transistor more seamlessly, and helps cancel distortion. The result is a buffer that measures insanely wellóîbetter than some solid-state stages!
I don't care what it measures like, I care what it sounds like!
Yes, and some people care what it measures like, too. In our opinion, it both measures and sounds great. Of course, we're biased
But I don't want to deal with tubes!
Then you need Saga S, the solid-state Saga. It also saves you $100.
Hey, I want balanced inputs and outputs!
Then you need Freya+, Saga+'s big sister.
