Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101


   So I've been itching to upgrade my amp. I currently have: PS audio Directstream -> PS BHK preamp -> parasound JC1 -> Focal Sopra 2.
    I narrow down to these 2 candidates. Any one with experience with both int amps can comment on them?Thanks!!!

I am an owner of vitus sia 025 for almost 2 years now.

the gryphon diablo 300 was the last finalist i auditioned
before going for the vitus.

the gryphon is faster, goes deeper and bighter and more neutral.
the vitus is warmer, more intimate mids and more forgiving in
terms of bad recordings.

gryphon is more impressive at first but vitus will get you
the longer you listen to it.

i like my vitus a lot and no regrets. 
If you want a better integrated than both? To my ears
they are both beaten by jadis l88 90 watts class a.

no experience with vitus dac. I am very much satisfied
with my chord dave and m scaler combo with an
aurender s10 as source.

fair enough. Then let me suggest the jadis i88 integrated
amp. Which is my next upgrade at a lower price than my
vitus sia 025 or if the op is in to solid state; then my advice
is not to discount the vitus ri 101. It may be boring to others
but vitus will grow on you with its organic and relaxed pre
sentation in the long run.

disclamer- my experience is with the older model ri100.
