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.
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 our 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?’”
Connectivity with the optional DAC/Streaming module (2023 version)
The RI-101 Mk.II supports Mconnect, UPNP/DLNA, Tidal Connect, Spotify connect, V-tuner, Qobuz amongst others.
The RI-101 Mk.II is now also certified as a Roon Ready endpoint. Find out more on the Roon partner page.
Streaming with the Roon software
It’s important to note that while the RI-101 MK.II with the DAC/Streamer module is Roon Ready, it requires a separate Roon Core to function. The Roon Core acts as the central server that manages your music collection and streams audio to the RI-101 MK.II. This setup ensures a robust and high-quality audio experience, leveraging Roon’s advanced features and the RI-101 MK.II’s exceptional sound performance.
