I have seen visions of this little beauty popping up over the past month or two and I must admit to slight feelings of excitement and anticipation. I am (sort of) in the market for a new amp and am a definite fan of Cyrus although struggling a little at the cost of the current integrated amp offerings. Have been auditioning a few amps over the past few of months (Arcam A29, Audiolab 8300, NAD 356BEE DAC, Primare i32, Rotel RA-12 with a few more on the list to try) but spotting the new One I am thinking this might be a potential winner. It feels like Cyrus creating an amp to compete in the budget high end category (if I can put it like that) and one that could really be competitive strike agianst the curent Arcam / Rotel / NAD / Rega offerings around that sort of price. For perspective, of the amps I have tried I quite liked the Primare although it ultimately felt a bit underwhelming even though it sounded veyr competent and I very much liked the Audiolab. Didn't like the NAD and was underwhelmed / bit disapponted with the Arcam. All of these were tried with B&W CM6 S2 speakers, as I am not planning to change them any time soon so my new amp needs to work well with them. I do appreciate that any of the above amps could sound significantly different / better with a different set of speakers.
Anyway, anyone else picqued by the new Cyrus? Anyone heard one yet?
