The cunning Danes at Vitus have been playing their cards close to their collective chest regarding the SIA-030 ahead of its grand unveiling, but the information is now trickling through.
Before the question forms in your head, the SIA-025 is not being replaced, or production halted. The SIA-030 will sit above the 025 in the Signature range.
Firstly, the 435 x 268 x 530mm chassis is similar in size to one of their Masterpiece Power Amps. We also know that it will weigh in at around 56kg. Kog Audio have posted a couple of pictures of the chassis, one of which is shown below.
The SIA-030 will have 3 x XLR inputs and 2 x RCA inputs as standard with an option to add a DAC/Streamer which will bring with it an AES input, an SPDIF (RCA) input, Ethernet, USB port supporting up to 2x DSD and an Optical input. Additionally, there is a phono stage option that adds a pair of RCA inputs. The modular design also makes future upgrades easier.
The Vitus Audio SIA-030 offers up 30 watts per channel in Class A mode at 8 Ohms and 200 watts in AB mode. Those numbers mean that the SIA-030 will be capable of driving any set of speakers with ease.
Furthermore, the new integrated amp features a 2.2 kVA custom designed transformer handing it significant levels of current delivery.
The Vitus SIA-025 sells at £19,000 so the 030 will be northwards of that.
We're looking forward to hearing these at High End Munich 2019, Atrium 4.2 room E208.
