If you’re using a power amp without volume control, you’ll need a Saga S preamp to control volume, switch inputs, etc.
Run Saga S in passive mode for a convenient remote-controlled passive preamp that's ideal for many systems.
If you need to drive long cables, switch it to the active, discrete, DC-coupled JFET buffer mode.
Saga S uses a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled relay-stepped attenuator for perfect channel matching and near-unmeasurable distortion. You can hear it clicking as you turn the volume up and down.
Designed and Built in California. Product is supplied with a 110 – 120V US plug suitable for use in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This product will not work in 220 – 240V countries.
Saga S gives you all the uber-high-end, no-compromises features you need in a preamp, including a real relay-switched volume control, a switchable DC-coupled discrete JFET buffer, and a custom remote control.
S as in Solid-State
The Solid State Saga S has a discrete JFET buffer stage in place of a tube stage. We understand some people don't want to deal with tubes, so we made one that was 100% solid state.
It's Your Choice: Passive or Active
Go ahead. Run Saga S in passive mode for a convenient remote-controlled passive preamp that's ideal for many systems. If you need to drive long cables, switch it to the discrete, DC-coupled JFET buffer mode.
Easiest Relay-Switched Volume, Ever
The benefits of a relay-switched stepped attenuator for volume are clear. Compared to a potentiometer, they give you essentially perfect channel matching and near-unmeasurable distortion. However, some preamps with relay-stepped attenuators confuse you with buttons and screens. Not Saga S.
Saga S has a volume knob that works just like a volume knob--just grab and turn. And if you use the remote control, the motorized potentiometer changes to match the remote setting.
Perfect Companion to Our DACs
Want a remote-controlled system to interface your digital gear with the rest of your system? Stack Saga S and any other of our DACs for a true no-compromise, remote-controlled system.
Designed and Built in California
The majority of the total production cost of Saga S--chassis, boards, assembly, etc.--goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal.
5-Year Warranty
Saga S is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for 5 years.
