Hello,
Here is my listening room with the simple system setup:

Roon Server/Player (Roon ROCK installed on an Intel NUC-11) with MSB Pro USB-ISL interface via 25 metres of fiber optic cable to DAC.

MSB Cascade DAC with Stillpoints Ultra 6 V2 under Powerbase and Ultra 2 footers under Analog converter.

Vitus Audio SM-103 Mk.II mono amplifiers on Stillpoints Component Stands with Ultra 6 V2 footers.

Marten Mingus Septet Statement Edition speakers.

Jorma Statement speaker cables, XLR interconnects and power cords. Jorma Ethernet Reference and USB Reference cables.

I had the Vitus SIA-030 integrated amplifier before i changed to the SM-103 MK.II. The SIA-030 was very good already, but i can’t bypass its preamp section when i wanted to use the passive preamp of the MSB Reference DAC to drive the power amplifier section directly. So i upgraded to the SM-103 MK.II which is Vitus Audio’s latest model launched in early 2023.
With the SM-103 MK.II monoblocks, there is a lot of improvement in base control and dynamics. They seems to have unlimited power driving the 88db sensitivity Marten speakers, eventhough there are only rated 100W rms into 8 ohms for the Class A or Class AB output options, probably due to their high current designs and massive power supplies. The bass is very powerful and controlled while the mids and highs are liquid sounding with excellent 3D imaging.
Now with the Cascade DAC, these monoblocks do not in any way limit the tremendous performance potential of the Cascade DAC.
