Cyrus Audio

The Cyrus 40 Amp is equipped with a DAC based on the ESS ES9039Q2M chip and offers several digital and analog inputs, including a low-noise MM phono corrector input for vinyl playback. There is also an HDMI arc port for connecting a TV. It has a power of 100 watts per channel when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 6 ohms.

The built-in Cyrus and i9-XR DAC unit is equipped with two coaxial and two optical digital inputs, as well as a USB port. The proprietary QXR DAC in the XR series amplifiers has been equipped with a new high-speed analog buffer stage. There are seven digital filter settings available. When working via the USB interface, the DAC is capable of decoding PCM streams with a resolution up to 32 bits/768 kHz and DSD up to DSD512.

The integrated circuit develops 2 x 91 Watts at 6 Ohms, the frequency range extends from 0 Hz to 50 kHz, which minimizes phase distortion over the entire range. The preliminary section has five analog inputs and a precision level control. There is a built-in MM phono corrector and a DAC with optical and coaxial inputs, 3.5mm headphone output. The power supply uses a 304 VA transformer and a capacious bank of storage capacitors.
