What about partnering the DAC xp + with two Mono x200? i would have just the one PSXR. Thoughts, i am looking for the killer system to play via mac. Appreciate the help. Cyrus is great, but the combos are confusing.

Guys, Thanks for this i think i will go for the x power and while i am at it upgrade the 8xpd to QX. Good idea? To answer the previous posts the unit was overheating and then (quite rightly) cutting out. All help massively appreciated, D :clap:

I have two cyrus products, the 8xpd & a PSX-R. I these to my Bowers & Wilkins XT floor standers (also bought in 2009 in Singapore). I have all my music through my mac mini or I phones. The issue I want to solve is that the components get too hot when I have prolonged loud periods (unless I use...

The fact that your missus can use it is a real plus. Mine goes nuts when i am away because she can't work the computer. These are facts we need to take into account.

Agree with you PC's are rubbish, I use the mini as a integrated home solution, its pretty quiet & to be honest never hangs ON the USB / optical. I am a numbnuts, meant USB from computer to Cyrus. Nicely spotted. Doh! So how good is the SONOS to use, what is it you love about it?

You've sort of answered the question for me really. Music serviers are stand alone & you don't need a computer, correct? The sonos has a remote interface yes? I suppose the discussion point is why you would get a music server if you already have a computer through which you could play files...

So here's the thing... I've been looking through the threads recently & I am perplexed, nay confused. I listen to music on lossless files, these are from a Mac Mini that uses my tv as a screen (via VGA cable), I also have a separate 1TB Stardom SOHORAID hard-drive...

Guys, Just got the cyrus Amp, very impressed. spoilt for choice on the connections. Question is whether the optical link is better than the USB port. Thing is, want to play movies from the mac mini & music on a separate channel. Which connector to choose. Do i go optical for tv programs and...

Just bought the Cyrus 8xpd - getting it installed with my kit tomorrow. cant wait. Cheers for the help.

Thanks for the reply....massively appreciate it. So i have the floor standing B&W XT4's for the fronts (XTC center) the SC-LX81 is the reciever, but would running the music (as opposed to the 350mb tv shows etc) make a huge difference. As a note i have admired the Cyrus equipment, is the cyrus...

Hi, I currently play my music from a MAC Mini, through an optical link to my pioneer receiver (LX81), mostly lossless files (I also play movies etc.,). In addition I use a Pioneer blu ray for the full cinema experience). This then goes through some lovely B&W XT series speakers. I have...
