RE: Comparison of a few inline attenuators

I have no direct experience with the Schiit Sys but I've had a couple other Schiits including the Freya + and Kara. Both of these can be run in fully passive mode, buffered passive mode, but in my setup I much preferred them in active mode with gain.

The MAIN thing passives are known for is ultimate transparency but IMHO sometimes they sacrifice too much in other areas. They are very cable dependent and system component dependent, more so than when using an active preamp, so short cables and component matching with a passive are much more critical.
