“The Vitus DAC changes the sound. It presents it in a warm big expansive fashion. The treble is slightly weak and sweetened. The lower midrange and bass are a little stronger to reinforce the impression of the treble’s withdrawal. Such tonal balance allied with excellent resolution places the sound closer to vinyl (but not to analog per se as master tape still sounds different). It is an engaging sound which gently massages our necks while we immerse ourselves in the next album. Dynamics are high as evidenced by 24/176.4 HRx recordings from Reference Recordings fed from laptop via USB. A large symphony orchestra sounds spectacular because the DAC maintains proper proportions between instruments and at the same time can hit brutally hard when required. “
