DAC XP+ - Preamp D/A Converter

Based on the DAC X+ the XP model is a preamp equipped version of the DAC X+ adding two analogue inputs to the six digital inputs. Our most accomplished preamp is a dual mono, fully balanced, design providing outstanding audio quality. Used in conjunction with the DAC’s digital inputs the DAC XP+ is the ultimate system control component.

The new preamp design operates in twin mono fully balanced mode and uses twin high-performance analogue volume controls and is the most accomplished Cyrus preamp design so far. The matching twin mono topologies of DAC and preamp provide outstanding performance when linked to the balanced input of the Mono X poweramp. Cyrus designed solid core balanced interconnects are available to complete the balanced installation. RCA single ended outputs are also provided to ensure compatibility with Cyrus’ more affordable power amp options.

In marked contrast to rival ordinary audio components, this unit offers remarkable ease of use. A clear green display screen shows user selected input names, from a built-in library, and shown on a clear green display. The integrated system command bus allows slave/automated control of a wide number of matching Cyrus components ranging from power amps to Tuners. It would be understandable for this compact and apparently simple component to be under estimated, however this is a world-class DAC and preamp, developed using the very latest audio technology.
