The used-market median is US$250, with the 25th percentile at US$198 and the 75th at US$276, so US$225 is a fair-to-good price—comfortably below median, though not quite a bargain. For an unknown-condition unit, the price is reasonable rather than exceptional.
The Saga remains appealing because it combines a genuinely transparent passive relay-stepped attenuator with a selectable 6SN7 tube buffer, remote control, five RCA inputs, and two outputs. Passive mode suits clean, low-gain systems; the buffer can add drive and a little tonal fullness, especially with longer interconnects. Confirm that the remote, tube, and power cord are included, and check that all relay steps, inputs, and buffer mode work. If complete and operational, this is a worthwhile buy at US$225.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Schiit Audio: Brand Overview
Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.
The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.
Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
