EXPIRED For Sale Cyrus Audio Pre2 DAC Qx Pre Amplifier

Further Information

I am selling my Cyrus Pre2 DAC Qx after 8 years of use.

I bought it new as a Pre2 DAC in 2016, and had it upgraded to have the Qx DAC a few years later.

The Qx DAC can be removed, which would revert it to the standard DAC.

It can also be upgraded with an additional power supply using the Cyrus PSX-R or PSX-R2.

To me the Qx DAC sounds more open with a bigger sound stage.

To me the PSX-R adds additional bass weight.

I used it with Cyrus CD Xt Signature, Stream X Signature and Stereo 200 for a full Cyrus system.

I tried it with these speakers, all sounding good: PMC Twenty.23, ATC SCM 19, Dynaudio Contour S1.4 LE, Spendor SP2/3R2, and Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand SE.

Out of all of those I think the Spendors and ATCs sounded the best on it.

It has both Analogue and Digital inputs, and single ended outputs for connecting to a power amplifier like the Cyrus Stereo 200.

It also has a headphone output, but this is at the back.

There is a sticker on the top saying "Improved Model", which was there when I bought it.

I never took it off, but it can be removed if desired.

Earlier this year I bought a Cyrus DAC Xp Signature with Cyrus PSX-R, and prefer it over the Pre2.

That is why I am selling it.

It does not come standard with a remote control when new.

However I have the optional remote control, and will include that.

I have the box for it, so can post it.
