Product Description
Cyrus Audio i7 XR Integrated Amplifier, part of Cyrus' XR series of components, employs the familiar precision die-cast case but transforms everything else.
With ground-up engineering inside, an all-new phantom black paint finish, touch-sensitive controls and a higher resolution display that is customisable for brightness, contrast and polarity, the high-quality finish of XR makes a strong statement.
Power Amplifier
The wideband power amplifier of the i7-XR responds from DC to beyond 100kHz ensuring ruler-flat frequency response and keeping any undesirable phase shifts out of the audio band. With a generous, over-specified power supply the i7-XR power amplifier delivers music with a scale and authority that belies its 52W rating.
All new analogue preamp
Derived from the new high-end Pre-XR preamplifier, the i7-XR analogue preamp features relay input selection and a new high-performance gain stage. This short-path design makes the analogue preamplifier extremely transparent. With four analogue inputs and phono MM, the i7-XR will cover just about any system requirement for analogue connectivity.
XR digital performance
The DAC input stage of the i7-XR features a new 2nd generation version of our award-winning QXR DAC, but with an all-new high-speed analogue buffer stage. Seven digital filter alignment options are user adjustable to suit the taste of the listener. Input options include USB audio (to 768k sample rate) and DSD to DSD512, 2 x SPDIF digital and 2 x optical digital inputs.
Low noise phono stage for vinyl
Inheriting many design features of the award-winning Phono Signature, the phono stage in the i7-XR performs at a level way above its class. Featuring low background noise and high dynamic range, the phono stage is a perfect complement for a quality vinyl turntable source.
Fully configurable
A new menu system makes the i7-XR highly customisable yet easy to set up. With a tree-style navigation structure and both local and remote control navigation, menu settings are quick and simple to select. All Cyrus components are manufactured in an advanced die-cast aluminium chassis and this hand finished casework is an integral part of the products’ sound.
It’s not just about good looks; the chassis composition is specifically designed to create an electronically shielded and mechanically vibration-free environment for the sensitive audio circuits which are hung inside the inverted chassis, avoiding unwanted electric currents and secondary magnetic fields so the sound you hear is the very best that it can be.
