The Virtus I4S is a foundation line integrated amplifier featuring a built-in phono stage and headphone output.
 
Highlights
Centrally placed control knob provides intuitive operation and a direct, tactile user experience.
Compact solution that merges an integrated amplifier, phono preamplifier, and headphone amplifier.
Fully discrete Class AB solid-state amplifier built on a true dual-mono architecture.
 
Main Features
Lifestyle device packed with high-end technology
A minimalist, modern design crafted from quality materials conceals high-end, fully discrete and dual-mono circuit technology. With solid power on tap, it delivers a clean, superior, engaging sound in a sleek lifestyle form
 
New design defined by premium materials
A new design elevated by premium materials such as aluminum, glass, and steel introduced with Canor's first-ever bronze finish for a more unique and sophisticated presence
 
Discrete XLR inputs, exceptional in this category
At the level, fully discrete balanced XLR inputs are exceptional. The Virtus I4S incorporates this design to ensure macimum synergy with the complementary DAC Verto D4S, allowing balanced signals to be handled with precision and delivering phenomenal sound
 
Product features
Refined central knob with an integrated 1.8-inch display combines a dual-bearing design, ultra-smooth rotation, and innovative CCD-based position sensing for precise, tactile control.
Fully discrete dual-mono circuit technology.
Discrete built-in headphone amplifier with top-notch parameters, sufficient to power the vast majority of high-quality headphones.
Finest discrete phono amplifier supporting MM/MC with gain adjustment, a wide range of capacitance and impedance settings via front display.
Exceptional 40 000 µF per-channel filtering capacity in the power supply allows the Virtus I4S to deliver deep, dynamic bass with precision and control.
Low-distortion variable RCA output designed to support subwoofers or additional power amplifiers with a clean, precise signal.
Low output impedance improves the overall amplifier's sonic performance thanks to the use of oversized output transistors and an unconventional circuit design.
The Virtus I4S adopts some proven concepts and technologies from the reference line Virtus S1S, such as an "Error Correction Technology", which is a specialized local feedback circuit to linearize the amplifier output stage. This technology helps to prevent transient distortion from occurring in the first place, rather than relying on overall feedback to suppress it. Ideally, this results in a weaker overall feedback circuit compared to one without error correction.
The display offers two color theme options, allowing the user to select their preferred interface appearance.
Virtus I4S supports wireless firmware update.
