After a lot of hard work, Vitus Audio arrived in Munich with a new Signature DAC, the SD-025 Mk.II ($26,500), and new SM-103 Mk.II monoblock amplifiers ($70,000/pair). Allied with other Vitus equipment (see below), the system offered bountiful color, snap, and excellent low bass on a CD of Mathias Heise performing "Quadrillion." Having just viewed a bit of a Heise's live performance of the piece, I find myself extremely grateful for the opportunity to close my eyes and focus solely on the music.
