Probably would struggle on the HE-6What if any headphones would either of these amps struggle to power?

Not necessarily. At least not likely audibly different. The HE6 is just amongst the least sensitive planars and can actually benefit from the high power the balanced output on the THX amps can produce. But things like LCD2 or HE560, Sundara, etc would be fine with atom or heresy or magni3+
I would like to see a review of the Saga S by ASR. I have one in a revealing wide band system and feel it offers exceptional functionality and performance, by any standard, which makes the $299 price quite interesting. Seems like just the thing for a review by Amir.No plans at the moment, but I could certainly be convinced if people here are interested. Either way, you will be seeing more Schiit products reviewed on ASR in the future.

Yep, I thought I covered this before. The Freya+ and Saga+ are staying. The Freya S and Saga S will be sold until we run out of them.
Schiit mentioned in another forum the Saga S is being discontinued, if you want one pick it up.
There's several out there on youtube already, mostly the same subjective fluff as usual.Why no one has done a youtube video on these amps yet!
Zeos is pretty hilarious though. And, IIRC Zeos caught an issue with the M500 bleeding audio through the line outs that Amir missed. There's a lot to be said for spending time using the gear rather than just benchmarking it. Getting multiple opinions is never a bad thingVideo channels are dominated by subjective reviewers. We need objective reviewers in video channels!
Sooo... Is it just me or is there a bit too large gap between low and high gain? In terms of power and gain compared to other alternatives? The 5,5x gain sounds insane to me. I consider even the 3,3x gain on my O2 unusable from 2V RMS sources (heck, I already have to turn the volume down from the source and the further tone it down with the vol pot at unity gain).
(Actually, how much does O2 give at unity gain for 300 ohm load?)
