It's a matter of personal preference but I had the Schiit Freya+ and now the Schiit Kara. The all solid-state Kara is a bit more robust, full-bodied, and impactful and that reflects my personal preference. I had the Freya+ too thinking that I would get that rich glorious 6SN7 sound that I once had in my Cary SLP-05 but that wasn't to be. It was still an excellent preamp but I sold it and went with the Kara.

Schiit now makes the Freya+ F and Kara F. I believe these are the same preamps as the previous gen but with the option to add something they're calling Forkbeard that is used with a phone App to monitor and control the preamp - and other Forkbeard enabled Schiit.

I'm sure there are better preamps out there compared to the Freya+ or Kara but these might surprise you! I think they're better than just stop-gap.
