Some updates..I had the opportunity of listening side by side the Rega Osiris and Vitus Audio SS 010 / Rega Osiris and Gryphon Diablo.
Firstly the Rega X Vitus. Vitus integrated amplifier used to be my reference..what an wonderful sound, however, the SS010 was not able to manage my Dynaudio C2 Signature..it was a big disappointment ...and a surprise..The Rega Osiris shows to be not only more powerful, but also more transparent and detailed. Frankly speaking, I was expecting that the Vitus would kill the Osiris..It was exactly the opposite ( at least with the Dyna C2 Signature - not easy speakers to drive ). We should also take in account that the Vitus' price is more than twice the Osiris' price tag .
Now the Rega Osiris X Gryphon Diablo...
I can say that I love the Diablo's sound. Very neutral, powerful and detailed.
The Osiris is not as transparent and detailed as Diablo , however, it seems to manage the speakers better ( surprise again ). You can recognize all details in the Osiris as you can do with Diablo ( Osiris being a little less transparent ) , however, the instruments and voices in the soundstage were presented in a more "integrated" way in the Osiris than in the Diablo which shows more "pieces" of music. The Osiris has also a more vivid sound which can fit some tastes more than others...but still keeping the enough neutrality, not becoming over warm. In my opinion, the Rega Osiris reproduces to my ears overall better "music"...
At the end of day , after listening for some hours the handsome Gryphon Diablo, I returned to the Rega Osiris and do not want to look back...It is that good.
