Cyrus DAC X+ Features:
- True balanced DAC tuned to produce the purest Cyrus sound
- All digital inputs are upsampled to 24bit/192kHz. - The D/A converter will upgrade any digital source
- Sophisticated re-clocking circuit - High accuracy sources are digitally re-clocked by a close tolerance circuit with triple quartz references ensuring low jitter
- True balanced topology throughout - Fully balanced topology from the digital domain to the analogue output stage
- Dual mono DAC cards - Dual mono design improves the focus and the the clarity of the system
- Expertly designed PSU - The power supply is cascaded through a number of sophisticated regulation stages and isolation techniques that ensure each section receives an unrestricted, noise free, power supply
- Extensive PSU refinements - Greater resolution from the analogue stages, the subtlety and emotion of the musical performance is preserved
- Extensive use of Star-earthing - Ability to resolve to very low signal levels
- Optically isolated digital control system - Control signals have no influence on the music signal
- PSX-R₂ socket to upgrade for greater resolution and dynamics

- Digital Filter Response: Fast or Slow roll-off - Gives two settings for the digital filtering of the DAC stage.
Choose your preference of Fast or Slow roll-off by auditioning some of your
favourite tracks
- Phase adjust: Normal or Inverted - Sets the audio phase for the DAC. Some listeners may prefer the inverted setting with their systems or
for when playing particular recordings
- Operation display mode: Small input or Large input
Product Overview
The DAC X+ upsampling audio D/A converter features dual mono DACs and a balanced audio design throughout the analogue domain. The DAC X+ is a high-end upgrade for a CD transport or other digital audio sources, connecting between the digital outputs of the sources and a preamplifier.
Inside, four fully balanced 24-bit DAC chips convert digital sources to analogue in a process which has been painstakingly designed and tested to ensure high definition sound quality, no interference and no distortion.
