its a passive and an active , great fun for playing with . i have the valve one [old type freya]
from the blurb
Schiit Freya S is a Balanced Passive or Active Pre amp with Remote Control
Schiit Freya S is, quite simply, a solid-state Freya+. Like Freya+, it’s a true no-excuses, balanced, remote-control preamp! Switch between passive mode and Nexus™ differential gain stage, enjoy the fine control of a 128-step relay-switched stepped attenuator volume control with perfect channel matching, and control it all from the comfort of your favorite chair.

Been enjoying your Schiit work ( had to get that in ) on the other forum as well Phil... hmmm interesting and plenty to ponder on. Never had a passive before and the temptation to try one certainly appeals.
The Freya seems very flexible and the balanced connection is an added bonus. Also thinking about the Tisbury at a nice price with not much to lose.
Just to mention TNT Audio say on a review of these nu force monos that the important factor on what preamp to use is the noise/ signal ratio. Not researched what that actually means ? lol,anybody ?
Reviews I know can often be taken with a pinch of salt !.Thanks again.
thanks , well just got the freya out to connect up to the ice power monoblocks and i shall keep you posted

For some reason the freya was no brilliant with my class d mono,s . In passive form , it was brilliant with the firebottle monos but not these class d . Afraid to say the active bel canto pre 3 vbs went back in pronto .

That's what I found a few years ago:active was best and valve pre absolutely best combo
