Interesting highlights
The multi-input digital board features a USB input for a computer. Anything that plays on your computer will sound much better when played back through the ‘Cyrus quality’ DAC’s of the digital board. The Cyrus digital board uses a highly specified DAC and power supply arranged so that all connected digital sources benefit from the inherent quality of the DAC.

The Pre XP d preamp stages are based on the DAC XP model and therefore benefit from many sophisticated design elements from the more expensive model.

The front panel boasts a high quality LCD display that shows volume, the input selected and a set-up menu that helps you to configure your amplifier to work exactly the way that suits you.

Quick system suggestion
The CD 8 SE is the logical CD player to match. An alternative system option would be to choose the CD XT SE CD transport and order the amp with the optional Qx DAC that up-samples all digital sources connected, for even better sound quality. The Pre XP will happily partner with any of the Cyrus Power amps. However we recommend auditioning the X Power as this is a good balance of performance and price.

Colour
Specify your amplifier to match your home. Order the die-cast magnesium chassis in Quartz Silver or Brushed Black

NB: Not all model variants are available in every market. The Cyrus Pre XP is only available with the ‘d’ digital option fitted.
