Vitus sia 025 vs d'agostino momentum

Hi everyone
i need some advice on this one. I have devialet 400 monos and I’m looking to get an integrated amp. I have narrowed the search to vitus sia 025 and d’agostino momentum amps. I am hoping to get advice on choosing between these two items.
My system
focal Scala v2
2 REL g1 subs
brinkmann balance tt
brinkmann 12.1 tonearm
benz lps
shunyata triton/typhon
transparent reference cables
audio alchemy phono
dsc rossini
The reason for the change in amps that I feel that the devialets lack any depth to the soundstage and my system is too technical. I have heard these amps and they seem to add better scale to the soundstage and a more tube like sound
any suggestions?
thanks in advance

At this level I think Ypsilon is worth considering as well.

One issue with the excellent Vitus amps was that they need to be left powered up as they take 3 to 4 days to reach their transparent sound
my Diablo 300 takes 30 minutes although I do leave it on standby

Have heard the beautiful d'agostino with Magico speakers
Impressive but bass less warm than the Scala v2 or my current Zingalis client name 3.12

hope this rambling is of some help or interest

Thanks Leonard 
i have been reading about gryphon but there is no dealer in the US. I want an amp that is great with soundstage and gives the music depth. I felt that the momentum were great but a little too rounded and maybe a little too smooth like an overly sugary hot chocolate. The vitus seems to be more organic to my ears maybe not as creamy. Hope this makes sense
