C1 Saga

About the C1 Saga

The Schiit Saga is a versatile stereo preamplifier that combines the transparency of a passive preamp with the warmth and character of a tube-buffered active stage. It features five single-ended RCA inputs and two sets of RCA outputs, making it easy to connect multiple sources and amplifiers or a subwoofer. The Saga allows users to switch between a pure passive mode (no gain, minimal coloration) and an active hybrid mode that uses a vacuum tube (6SN7/6N8S/5692 compatible) for a richer, more forgiving sound. Volume control is handled by a high-quality relay-switched stepped attenuator, and all basic functions—including input selection, mode switching, mute, and volume—can be controlled via a dedicated remote. The industrial design is compact and matches other Schiit components, with a focus on simplicity and build quality.
