FROM THE CREATOR
Foreword
First of all, thank you for choosing the Vitus Audio RD-101
Reference DA Converter, we are sure you will enjoy it for many
years to come. When purchasing a Vitus Audio product, you are
guaranteed a musical performance, which exceeds the current
musical standards. Vitus Audio is dedicated to musical performance
rather than technical details and high performance measures.
At Vitus Audio everything works until proven not to. This way we
always try to push the limits and explore the unexplored. As a result
of this, many of the solutions we use today are considered to be
“impossible to ever get working”, however they have convinced
many people and reviewers world wide of the opposite. Before any
of our new topologies are implemented in our products, they are
carefully reviewed by our dedicated listening panel. This way we can
guarantee the correct level of musically performance and robustness.
Generally we’re after super neutral, super detailed and super dynamic
reproduction without “loosing” the nerve in the music which often
is a drawback of many high end ampliers. Our real strongholds are
complete silence, unbelievable depth and width in the soundstage
resulting in a far more open sound with higher resolution – you could
say, closer to the artist. As a result of the above, our ampliers do not
“focus” on any specic frequencies - i.e. no extension of top or bass,
which of course results in high clarity of the midrange since
it’s “naturally present”!

Always turn o your products in reverse order:
Power amplier pre-amplier Source
The topology of the volume control used in the RD-101 is very
dierent compared to the “standard”. The RD-101 uses a series of
xed resistor networks to control the volume. Relays are used to
switch between the resistor networks. Across all volume steps, a
xed resistor is in series with the signal path. This gives the best
performance possible. When you change volume, a dierent
number of shunt resistors are used.
The topology of the volume control
To prevent pop in the output, we have chosen to rst add the new
shunt resistors, and then wait a short time, before removing the
unused shunt resistors at the new volume step. This will give a minor
fall in volume before settling at the new volume step. It takes very
little time to get used to this type of operation of the volume, and
it will give you superior sound quality over the traditional digital
and analogue potentiometers.

INPUT (1-5)
The RD-101 has 5 analog inputs.
The settings for each individual input can be adjusted in the menu.
The input selection is saved automatically every 10 minutes.
Each time you initialise the RD-101 the last saved setting is restored.
You can manually save a setting by pressing the MENU button
down 2-3 sec. When “SAVE” is shown in the display, the setting
has been saved.
STREAMER
Here you can set the RD-101 to automatically check for rmware
updates for the streamer. In the streamer settings the update check
can be enabled/disabled. (note: all rmware updates made available
are tested and approved by Vitus Audio).
INPUT NAME SETTINGS
By default, the inputs are named DIG 2/3/4/5, USB and Streamer.
In the text-menu you can nd a list of predened input names.
If the name of your device is not in the list, you can choose to make
your own device name.
ADJUST
Adjust the xed dB step to any step between -89 dB and +13dB.
This function is only available when FIX ON is selected.
SET FIX
Lock and unlock the volume on a specied input by switching
between FIX ON/FIX OFF.
This feature can be used to congure a home theater bypass input,
if the amplier is used with a surround processor. Input X is now
locked to the SET FIX dB step and can’t be adjusted with the
volume control.
OFFSET
Oset volume setting.
Dierent sources often have dierent output voltages. This has
a direct inuence on the typical volume level that is needed for a
specic sound level, hence changing between sources can result in
a high sound level dierence. To accommodate easy operation, we
have included an oset volume in our ampliers – it simply osets
the volume starting point at a specic volume to match the source.
The oset-value can be set from -12 dB to +12 dB.
SENS
Devices can have dierences in output level. You can adjust the
sensitivity of each input between ≤ 2 Vrms, ≤ 4 Vrms, ≤ 8 Vrms to
minimize these dierences and to prevent clipping of the input.
The sensitivity level needs to be higher than the input level.
TEXT
Lets you change the name of a specied input.
By default the inputs are named input 1, input 2, etc. A list of
predened input names can be found in the text-menu. If the name
of your device is not on the list, you can choose to make your own
device name.
USED
Activates or disactivates specied inputs.
If you only use some of the inputs, it is possible to disable the
inputs that are not used. Using the “Input” button, the system skips
the disabled inputs, and jumps to the next used input.

Maintenance and safety notice
Vitus Audio products are designed to run for many years without
the need for regular maintenance.
The Vitus Audio RD-101 contains no user serviceable parts except
from the mains fuse. Do not attempt to open the case as there are
potentially dangerous voltages present inside. Should your RD-101
show signs of malfunction, then please contact your dealer
or Vitus Audio.
Mains fuse
The mains fuse is accessible from the outside of the amplier. You
will nd the mains fuse, just below the power inlet. If the fuse blows,
you can easily replace it. The fuse only blows on the occurrence of
power surges or if there is a fault in the unit. Normally power surges
cause no other damage other than blowing the fuse. When the fuse
blows repeatedly on replacement, then the unit most likely has a
malfunction. In case of malfunction the unit must be returned to
Vitus Audio for repair.
Fuse type:
Physical size - 20 x 5mm
240V - 6.3A T (Time lag fuse)
230V - 6.3A T (Time lag fuse)
115V - 12A T (Time lag fuse)
100V - 12A T (Time lag fuse)
Replacing the fuse with a fuse of a type and rating dierent from
the original, might result in damage to the unit and injury to you
(the user). Damage to the unit as a result of incorrectly replacing
the mains fuse, will invalidate the warranty.
For an explanation of how to replace the fuse see chapter 4
“replacing a blown fuse”.
Mains supply voltage
Any unit may be set for operation in 100V, 115V or 230V/240V AC.
The units shipped are set for the mains supply voltage of the
destination. The mains supply voltage can be changed in the product.
In some cases, this work can be performed by our authorised partners
around the world. In rare cases we would ask that the product is
returned to the Vitus Audio factory in Denmark for the conversion
to be done.
