Three Years With The Schiit Freya + Pre-amp

A little over a year and a half into the ownership experience, I got home Thursday, cracked a cold one and was all set to spin some vinyls when the unimaginable happened: I hit the toggle on my Freya + and nothing happened. It’s dead, Schiit the bed. Fortunately, I had an ART Clean Box in my studio and was able to route rca from the pre out on my AVR to the box and XLR to my DSP speaker management unit, hooking up my DAC and phono pre to the AVR with RCA cables instead of XLR. Apart from a few additional cables that I haven’t bothered to hide, there’s been minimal disruption.

I’m waiting to hear back from texas with a return authorization. Of course, I got my Freya + second hand, so I’m at their mercy if they choose to repair it. I’m dumbfounded as to what could have caused this.
I don't like/trust their little toggle switches so all my Schiit is plugged into a Furman PST-8 power strip (which is plugged into a Furman Elite-15 DMI power conditioner). I leave all the power switches on and turn them all on and off with the switch on the PST-8.
