Cyrus XR Series is the latest addition to the Cyrus line-up and it pushes the boundaries in high fidelity audiophile components; resulting in impressive performance throughout the entirety of the range. The series consists of the CDI-XR, CDT-XR, I7 -XR, I9-XR and Pre XR. The range is split into Amplifiers, CD transporters and DACs.
Cyrus CDI-XR
The CDI-XR is a CD player with class-leading components to give outstanding audio quality for ultimate listening pleasure. It includes Cyrus’s CD ‘Servo’ technology to allow for more data to be read from the CD at greater speeds, this re-reading process greatly reduces general interference and noise generated by conventional methods. Other features include 32 bit 2nd Gen QXR DAC (Digital Audio Converter), twin analogue outputs as well as optical and coaxial outputs.
Cyrus XR CDT-XR
CDT-XR has been re-engineered from the ground up sporting an all-new phantom black finish for a sharp, smart modern look. To accompany the appearance the internals are just as excellent featuring touch-sensitive controls and a higher resolution display. The CDT-XR also uses the same CD Servo data reading technology mentioned above on the CDI. With a significantly reduced noise floor to its previous generation, the listening experience is superb even at low levels.
Cyrus I7-XR
Cyrus XR I7 is also part to the XR range and is full of high fidelity components giving it superb performance. It is finished in the all-new phantom black paint giving it a sharp finish. Like the previous models in the range, it features a higher resolution display and has more touch-sensitive controls, although this does not affect the sound directly, the whole user experience is improved with these additions.
The I7-XR is an integrated amplifier with amazing connectivity due to the 4 Analogue inputs, 1 Phono MM input, 2 Optical inputs, 2 Coaxial digital inputs and 1 Asynchronous USB input. As well as outputs for Analogue preamplifier, it also supports headphones and 52W into 6Ω / twin speakers covering all your device connectivity needs. The driving power behind the I7 is a 52w rated amplifier with a “Ruler-Flat’ frequency response for an accurate relay of your favourite music as it was intended to sound.
Cyrus I9-XR
Cyrus Audio i9 XR is the flagship integrated amplifier in the new XR series. Featuring ground-up engineering inside and all the added features from the I7, the I9 is powered by a hefty power amplifier that supports dual 91W into 6Ω twin speaker outputs. In addition, the power amplifier in the I7 and 9 both feature a pre amplifier.
“Derived from the new high-end Pre-XR preamplifier, the i9-XR analogue preamp features relay input selection and a new high-performance gain stage. This short-path design makes the analogue preamplifier extremely transparent.” – Cyrus Audio
Cyrus Pre XR
Cyrus PRE XR pays particular attention to the detail of every component in the audio path and raises audio performance to another level.
The Pre XR has all the added XR range features that improve not only audio quality but looks and usability too. Including, a High Capacity Power Supply, Balanced Output Options (XLR), Balanced Output Options, PSU-XR Port and PRE-XR Digital Performance.
The digital performance is outstanding, for example, the DAC input stage of the Pre-XR features a new 2nd generation version of Cyrus’s award-winning QXR DAC, but with an all-new high-speed analogue buffer stage. Taking the Overall performance of the Pre XR to another level of high fidelity audio quality. It doesn’t stop there… The Pre XR has a new menu system makes the Pre-XR highly customisable yet easy to set up.
