The Cyrus 40 AMP is everything we want in modern Cyrus integrated. It’s well-built, looks smart and sounds great

I bought exactly the same system and, thankfully, all 3 components are still working and sounding great. I think your Dad made some good choices.My Dad bought me a Cyrus One along with a Linn Axis and some Mission bookshelf speakers back in '85. The Axis is still running fine but the Cyrus has long-since stopped working. If he were still with us I'm sure the price of modern Cyrus would have finished him off.
how does ROON improve sound quality ?I'd also recommend lumin network bridges/streamers over cyrus streamers.
Cyrus are high quality but I'm not impressed with their new kit.
If you're really after the best sound from streaming then you've got to have roon. It is superb.
You'll have to listen and seehow does ROON improve sound quality ?
interesting, it's available as a free trial I think; may give it a whirl.You'll have to listen and see
I moved from aurelic lightingds to roon. I also changed from aurelic to lumin bridges.
Roon is superb and vastly superior to lightningds
The software is very stable
I do like tysons. That's the only hifi shop left now up here. They do some excellent deals and customer service is very good. I've bought quite a few items from themPeter Tyson have a fire-sale on the XR series. There's some seriously good deals to be had. a shame I am not needing at the moment although I could chuck my EVO150 for an I9-XR, XR PSU and STREAM XR but there's no eARC HDMI, only optical........
you do need a powerful PC to get the best out of roon. I am listening at present and power usage is very highinteresting, it's available as a free trial I think; may give it a whirl.
yeah; i saw that on ASR forum; way too much faffing about for marginal gains and ROON not exactly good VFM either.you do need a powerful PC to get the best out of roon. I am listening at present and power usage is very high
The best setting arent immediately obvious. To get the best out of roon you need to look on the internet for tutorials.
Thats the only side of roon thats not well thought out.
I started with the free trial and i am now on my second yearly subscription.
Seems fine to me. Sounds brilliantyeah; i saw that on ASR forum; way too much faffing about for marginal gains and ROON not exactly good VFM either.
I stream Qobuz, max resolution 24/192 via my on-board DACS. \wouldn't ROON only offer a library service and alternate UI ?Seems fine to me. Sounds brilliant
Aurelic are regarded as being just about the best around and roon is in a different class.
If you are going to subscribe then it's worth the faffing around.
If you can't be bothered then listen to mp3 on your iPhone and pretend it's hifi.
Personally roon is the best I've heard. But I've not got an iPhone.
Roon is around £2 a week.
Is that too much to pay for excellence?
Not sure what £2 buys these days
I was sceptical about roon until I tried it.
There's a lesson there for sceptics.
After all, if you're going to spend many thousands on a quality hifi then I'm sure spending a couple of quid a week doesn't matter.
I also believe that roon is best for vinyl and cd rips and not substandard services like qubert and tidal. GINGO and all that
You also need a good DAC, bridge . Etc etc
You do need a powerful pc to get the most out of roon. I've seen people using a NUC with roon. Their specs aren't exactly powerful. Not powerful enough to really make room worthwhile. I am just looking at some NUC specs of room users and they aren't up to much.
I don't know what the options are for streaming services. I don't use themI stream Qobuz, max resolution 24/192 via my on-board DACS. \wouldn't ROON only offer a library service and alternate UI ?
