Cyrus Pre XP d Pre-Amplifier

The XP series of models has been designed in modular way. This allows us to invest heavily in the main engineering project and derive sibling products that benefit from the strongly funded core investment. The Cyrus Pre XP d was the core design (6XP & 8XP the siblings), itself benefiting from a ‘trickle down’ of audiophile engineering from the DACXP. Twin transformers feed two separate power supply stages each with further sub regulation. The main 130 VA Toroidal transformer with 5 regulated rails is twinned with a separate toroidal transformer for control systems. The twin transformer design has benefited the design especially when used in its more exotic variants with Qx DAC option and a PSX-R fitted. These options push the performance of the Cyrus PreXP  close to the performance levels of the DACXP model.

Because this model is largely based on the DACXP we have fitted higher quality components than may be expected for a model at this price point. This has enabled us to tune the sound to be extended and open enough to convincingly replay large scale music such a major symphonic or powerful rock programs. It is not an easy decision to tune the sound to be more expansive than pervious models, but because our latest generation of CD players deliver better controlled high and low frequencies the Cyrus PreXP can therefore be tuned take full advantage of the better controlled frequency extremes our state-of-the-art CD players provide.

The Cyrus Pre XP d provides a zone two output so you can play any source in another part of your home. It also has a headphone output featuring a very good quality amplifier. Twin pre-amplifier outputs allow easy connection of (several) power amps, and the large clear high quality LCD screen provides easy visibility of the menu control system. Input sensitivity matching is also included. A new Cyrus power supply incorporates new components that allow the pre-amplifier to consume less than one watt when in standby. The second transformer also allows us to separate sensitive low level analogue signals from digital and control systems.
