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!!!

Is there a reason you want to replace the Pre-amp too? The PS Audio should be a pretty capable pre-amp.

Unless you are space constrained I just can’t see why you’d want an integrated in this price range.

A review written about 17 years ago... the amps he listed will surely be in another category well above the JC-1, not that it isn’t a great amp.

I don't agree with George. I think given your PS Audio setup, a more obvious next step would be the BHK 300 mono blocks, assuming you already like the house sound with the pre-amp and DAC.

OP I think your instincts are spot on and you should investigate on your own rather than take the advice offered above.
