Product Information
Feature-packed yet dedicated to sonic precision, the Cyrus 80 PRE is the perfect way to introduce network streaming to your system, without losing out on sound quality.
A premium streaming pre-amp with wide-ranging ability
Bringing together a high quality pre-amp with versatile network streaming, the Cyrus 80 PRE adds quality and functionality to the heart of your system. Ideally paired with the Cyrus 80 PWR, it makes a formidable combination. The feature-packed music streamer delivers a wide range of networking options. Add a high quality headphone output and MM/MC phonostage, and it’s clear that this premium pre-amp has it all, in one.
Customised DAC for Hi-Res sound quality
At the heart of the 80 PRE’s digital processing is a fully customised version of the ESS ES9039Q2M chipset and HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology. Cyrus analysed every component and has tuned the board layout to achieve the best possible performance. Combined with the use of superior quality components throughout, the result is incredible accuracy and precision that unpicks every element of sound.
BluOS streaming flexibility
With Bluesound technology on board, the Cyrus 80 PRE delivers a vast range of streaming potential. Connect up via wi-fi or Ethernet and use the award-winning BluOS app (available free for iOS and Android devices) to stream all your favourite streaming services, Internet radio and your own stored music – all from a single control point. If you’d prefer, you can even use Siri voice control. You can also go multiroom, with a wide range of compatible Roon or Bluesound-based products on the market to link to.
Access your favourite streaming services and more
Bluesound’s operating system, BluOS, lets you stream in Hi-Res all your favourite music, podcasts and Internet radio stations. Synchronise with personal music libraries via wi-fi and connect up to 200,000 tracks in lossless quality. Experience the studio quality sound of MQA music, or connect and stream favourites with Apple AirPlay 2.
Roon Ready
Roon Ready brings all your music together under one, central control. Compatible with Hi-Res Audio and across many varied brands, it’s the ideal way to create a multiroom and multi-source music system. Link to your hard drives or NAS, your iTunes library or favourite Internet radio station and seamlessly stream the content between compatible devices.
Boost your TV’s sound
Although soundbars deliver a great boost to most TV’s internal speakers, connecting your TV to your hi-fi system has the potential to deliver even more. With the Cyrus 80 PRE featuring an HDMI eARC input, this is easier than ever. The input doesn’t just allow sound to run from your TV to pre-amp but also facilitates single remote control use and other functionality.
Digital inputs for a system upgrade
Connect any device with a digital output, such as a compatible CD player or games console and enjoy a great boost to the sound. Featuring a top quality ESS Sabre32 with HyperStream IV Dual DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) at its heart, accessed by two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, this highly tuned technology achieves the highest level of precision, invigorating all your digital music.
The best in computer audio
As well as the optical, coaxial and HDMI digital inputs, there’s also an asynchronous USB-B input. This lets you connect your PC or Mac and access stored or streaming music in high resolution – right up to 32 bit/384kHz file sample rate.
Superior MM/MC turntable input
For the best in vinyl sound, the 80 PRE is fitted with a high quality MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil), switchable turntable input. This low-noise design lets you get the best sound from your deck, whether it has an MM or MC cartridge, without needing to add an extra phono pre-amp. Balanced XLR and four RCA inputs cater for analogue sources, such as a tuner, and digital devices without a digital output – such as some CD players.
Dedicated headphone amp
As well as being at the centre of your music streaming, the 80 PRE also drives your headphones. Featuring a dedicated amp, there’s plenty of power to drive a vast range of models, ensuring that you get smooth, powerful sound through headphones.
Bring together all your music sources, and make them sound their best, with the Cyrus 80 PRE.
