Vitus Audio RI-101 MkII Integrated Amplifier
Expression. Emotion. Finesse
This amp, the first product designed for our Reference Series and the entry point to the world of Vitus Audio, quite simply sets a new standard for sound reproduction at this price point. Available with an optional DAC/Streamer ($5000 additional).
Our engineering team have created a component that raises the bar of solid state integrated amplifiers. With Vitus Audio’s signature minimal styling and the possibility of expansion with other components from the Reference Series, the RI-101 Mk.II will happily sit at the heart of your system for a lifetime.
EVERYTHING CONNECTED
The RI-101 Mk.II has three XLR (balanced), two RCA (unbalanced) inputs and can be specified with an optional DAC board offering a streamer (Ethernet) input, an S/PDIF (RCA) input and an AES (XLR) input. This is the workhorse at the heart of your system giving 300 W per channel to 8Ω speakers and 600 W at 4Ω.
In this iteration, experience enhanced resolution and blackness thanks to the updated input stage and pre-amplifier section. The noise floor is significantly lowered and the incorporation of the higher resolution volume control from out SL-103 and MP-L201 models offers you even greater control.
As Edgar Kramer, Editor-in-Chief at SoundStage Australia put it: “The Vitus Audio RI-101 is a stupendous sonic performer, excelling at the vividness and life of music… tight, punchy and detailed bass jumps from the mix while the RI-101 amplifier simply thinks, ‘Is this all you’ve got?’”
The RI-101 Mk.II comes in Pure White, Jet Black and Warm Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular unique finishes.
