Ed Selley is well known for his love of vinyl, so he jumped at the chance to be the first reviewer to get their hands on our first ever Turntable.

Review news and reviews
Highfidelity.pl (Polish- PSU-XR)
Adding a PSU-XR to the CYRUS system changes the sound. A truism but a necessary one. It changes the sound in a positive way – this is already less intuitive but also important. And, finally, it’s a really big change, comparable to changing a component for a higher model. Yes – that’s how this power supply works.
Stereo i Kolorowo (Polish- Classic STREAM)
Classic STREAM’s great advantage is its first-class resolution and playing accuracy. The precision and detail of the sound deserve great praise and recognition. This is Classic STREAM’s strong point. As well as a great ability to differentiate recordings, analyse them and create artistic / panoramic portraits. The player does not try to be flashy, but produces neutral, well-balanced and convincing sound of good quality. It does not colour or warm. It is objective to sound, true to the music. Clean.
AV Guide (German – Stream-XR)
The Stream-XR with integrated top-class DAC offers sophisticated functionality and top sound.
AV Forums (English- Stream-XR)
The review team at AV Forums awarded the Stream-XR 9/10 and their ‘Highly Recommended Award’.
The Ear (English- Stream-XR)
I have no hesitation in recommending the Stream-XR to anyone looking to add a compact, high-quality streamer to their system.
Hifi.nl (CDi-XR, CDt-XR, PSU-XR)
“In absolute terms, both the CDi-XR and the CDt-XR both make for fantastic CD players. Even more so with the addition of PSU-XR. They compete successfully with many, sometimes many times more expensive players in the market. Cyrus proves that top quality is possible for an acceptable investment.”
AVGuide.ch (PSU-XR)
“When paired with the Cyrus i9-XR, the verdict is clear: the sonic improvement is nothing less than dramatic, the PSU-XR takes this compact integrated amplifier to a completely different level.”
Stereo i Kolorowo (CDi-XR)
“The Cyrus CDi-XR as a compact disc player is characterised primarily by three words: coherence, precision and resolution. And fourth – musicality. This player provides juicy and complete high-quality sound, thus giving tangible testimony that the compact disc has a lot of potential, which you just need to know how to reach for. And the British Cyrus can do it like no one else!”
