The Vitus Audio RI-101 Mk.II is an integrated amplifier that sets a new benchmark in sound reproduction within its price range, embodying three fundamental qualities: power, precision, and emotion. Designed as the first product in the Reference Series, it represents an ideal entry point into the Vitus Audio world, featuring a minimal and refined design that integrates بسهولة into any audio system, with the possibility of expansion using other components from the same series, becoming the core of the system for years to come.

The amplifier offers three balanced XLR inputs and two unbalanced RCA inputs, with the option of an additional DAC board that integrates streaming functionality via Ethernet input, an S/PDIF RCA input, and an AES XLR input. This versatility is matched by a power output of 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 600 watts at 4 ohms, ensuring excellent driving capability even with demanding speakers.

In this updated version, the RI-101 Mk.II further enhances resolution and sound depth thanks to a new input and preamplifier section, which significantly lowers the noise floor. Volume control benefits from high-precision technology derived from the Vitus Audio SL-103 and Vitus Audio MP-L201 models, delivering even more accurate and smooth adjustments.

In terms of connectivity, the optional DAC/Streaming module supports major services such as Mconnect, UPnP/DLNA, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, V-Tuner, Qobuz, and is certified as a Roon Ready endpoint, ensuring full integration with the Roon ecosystem for advanced management and high-quality playback. It is important to note that operation with Roon requires an external Roon Core, which acts as the central server for music management and streaming.
