Has anyone heard the Vitus Audio CD Player?

What to put under my VAC AMP/ PREAMP??
Thanks for the follow up Bchief! I have come to the same conclusion myself. I have been in Ultralinear for awhile now and have found just as you said Triode, while it still sounds great, seems just a bit thinner and less involving by comparison......
