Schiit Saga+ Bedienungsanleitung

PASSIVE OR TUBE REMOTE PREAMP

A PASSIVE RELAY-STEPPED ATTENUATOR? YES.

A HYBRID TUBE BUFFER PREAMP? YES AGAIN.

AND REMOTE CONTROL? YEP, THAT’S INCLUDED AS WELL.

SAGA IS A SEERESS IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY,

BUT THE ONLY THING WE’RE SEEING IS THE LOOK OF SHOCK

WHEN YOU DISCOVER THE PRICE OF THIS GREAT LITTLE PREAMP.

OWNER’S MANUAL

The following is required by the roughly 9,542

government agencies and regulations we have to

comply with. If you have some common sense, they

should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these

instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions,

and heed all warnings. Or else!

1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a

qualied professional to help.

2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a

dry cloth.

3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation

openings, or place near heat sources.

4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement.

Route cords away from trafc areas and protect them from

being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus

is unused for a long period of time.

5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an

extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be

fully inserted.

6. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is

required when the device has been damaged, including cord or

plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into

the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,

does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Saga+ is a no-compromise, ultra-high-end

preamp cleverly disguised with a low price. You

won’t nd any volume-control chips or other

shortcuts in Saga—just uber-quality techniques

as used in the most expensive audio gear. That’s

why it has a relay-switched stepped attenuator

volume control that can be run fully passively—or

connected to a unique hybrid 6SN7 tube buffer.

INTRODUCTION

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

(1) Saga+

(1) Power cord

(1) 6N8S or 6SN7 tube

(0) Stick-on feet (they’re pressed in!)

CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside!

1. Before plugging in the

preamp, insert the tube.

Carefully align the key

in the tube base to the

notch in the tube socket.

2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Push down rmly

until the tube is seated on the tube socket. This

may take a

fair amount of

force.

3. Plug it in

and turn it on.

The tube will glow

after a few seconds, and the microprocessor will

connect the output after about 60 seconds.

4. Connect your sources. Connect up to 5 sources

with RCA cables to the inputs of Saga+.

5. Connect the output. Connect the output of

Saga+ to your amp or amps using RCA cables.

TUBE

6. Ensure the volume is turned down if you’re

using Saga for the rst time. You don’t want any

big surprises!

Replacing or Swapping Tubes

Saga accommodates any 6SN7, 6N8S or 5692

tube type. 6SL7s also work, but have higher

distortion and higher output impedance.

1. Turn off and unplug the preamp. Wait a while

for the tube to cool.

2. Carefully extract the tube by gently rocking it

back and forth and pulling upwards.

3. Carefully insert the replacement tube. Align

the key to the notch and press down rmly until

the tube is seated.

4. Plug the preamp back in and turn it on.

5 IR Window. The remote “talks” to the Saga+

through this window. Don’t block it, unless you

don’t want the remote to work.

6 Mute Indicator. When Saga+ is muted, this LED

will turn on. Saga is muted for 60 seconds on rst

turn-on. You can also mute at any time using the

remote control.

7 Passive/Buffer Indicator. This lights up when

you’re using the tube buffer output. It’s off for

passive output.

1 Input. The selected input lights up to indicate

the selected input. Pretty simple, right?

2 Input Switch. Press to choose the input you

want to listen to.

3 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the

music louder. Stop before smoke comes out of

your speakers.

4 Mode Select. Press to change between passive

and tube hybrid buffer output.

REMOTE CONTROL

Yes, this preamp comes with a remote control. Unlike earlier Sagas,

this is now a fancy milled aluminum model. It’s still inexpensive to

replace in case you lose it or want another one, however.

1 Input. Press this button to select the input you want to listen to. If

you skip the input, keep pressing—it cycles back around.

2 Volume Up/Down. Press the up arrow to turn volume up, press the

down arrow to turn it down. Simple as that.

3 Output. Press to change between passive and tube hybrid buffer

output.

4 Mute. Press to mute the preamp.

Changing the Battery

1. Flip the remote over to reveal a single hole on the back.

2. Push the remote open by inserting the end of an open paper clip into

the hole in the back and pushing rmly. It’s held together with magnets.

3. Replace the battery inside with one of the same type.

4. Reassemble the remote by rst inserting the clear LED in the front,

then dropping the panel down onto the matching magnets. Press

down gently to pop the panel in place.

3 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off. 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.

4 AC Input. Plug the power cord in here. Plug the

other end into an outlet of the correct voltage.

Trying to run a 115V product on 230V will blow the

fuse and generally make for a bad, bad day.

1 RCA Inputs.

You can connect up to 5 inputs to Saga+ using

RCA cables. The inputs are conveniently num-

bered “1” to “5” to match the front panel indica-

tors. Select the input you want to listen to using

the front panel buttons or the remote control.

2 RCA Outputs.

We’ve provided two sets of RCA outputs here,

so you can connect to 2 amps, or an amp and a

subwoofer, or you can just use a single output.

You don’t have to use both.

I hear hum, what do I do?

You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop,

try a ground loop isolator or an EbTech HumX.

There’s no sound for a while after I turn Saga+ on.

That’s perfectly normal. Saga+ delays the output

for 60 seconds after you rst turn the preamp on

to help prevent loud noises during start-up.

What’s with the clicking noises when I turn the

volume?

That’s the sound of the mechanical relays in the

relay-switched stepped attenuator. This is totally

normal.

I’m not getting any sound output, but the lights

are on.

Is the mute light on? If so, the preamp is muted.

Unmute the preamp using your remote control.

Otherwise, make sure you’re on the correct input

and the volume is turned up.

FAQ

Can I leave Saga+ on all the time?

You can, but it’ll dramatically shorten the tube

lifespan. The tube is on whenever Saga+ is on.

Sorry, no fancy tube shutdown here like Freya+.

Can I use both outputs at the same time?

Most of the time, yes. If you have products that

short the input when turned off, then that can

cause distortion.

I have the volume all the way down and still

hear faint music.

Yes, that is normal with a relay attenuator. If it’s

bothersome, hit the Mute button on the remote

to completely mute the preamp.

It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?

Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you

are not currently in a blackout. Then email us if

it still doesn’t work.
