We ran the Devialet monoblocks and moved to T plus A gear on our ref setup there was no contest.

Devialet or Vitus
Same thing with the Vitus. The Devialet is impressive in terms of noise floor, dynamics, bass control. The issue is musicality it is hard to relax listening to the technocolor Devialet presentation conventional Class A and A/B amps present music in a more envolving way. It is like the PRAT crowd there is something so natural with these fantastic reference grade conventional amps that make you want to listen to music. With the Devialet you got great sound not music.

emerald It seems all the JM Labs Utopia range have quite a difficult impedance and -phase angle loading for an amp in the bass. I’m with respected_ent and would opt for the Vitus amp which is Linear Class-A/B and linear power supply, over the Devialet being Class-D http://i.nextmedia.com.au/avhub/australian-hifi_reviews_2013_2013-06_vitus_audio_ri-100_integrated_a...
