About the 40

The Cyrus 40 AMP integrated amplifier is designed to be the centerpiece of a modern HiFi system, offering exceptional performance for both digital and analog sources. It delivers 100 watts per channel into 6 ohms (113 watts with optional 40 PSU upgrade) with a wideband power amplifier that responds from DC to beyond 100kHz, ensuring flat frequency response and minimal phase shift. The amplifier features a fully customized ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DAC with HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology, supporting high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD1024. Connectivity includes analog RCA inputs, a low-noise MM phono stage derived from the award-winning Classic PHONO, USB-B, coaxial, optical, and HDMI eARC inputs, making it versatile for vinyl, digital streaming, and home entertainment integration. The 40 AMP is housed in a sleek 40-series brushed and black hard anodized aluminum case with a 5-inch hi-resolution full-color TFT display and capacitive touch controls. It is hand-assembled in the UK and comes with a 5-year warranty. The amplifier is praised for its clean, detailed, and musical sound with expressive dynamics, articulate delivery, and a stable, focused stereo image. It balances tonal neutrality with a slightly forward character without aggression, providing excellent bass control and rhythmic drive. The digital section is highly regarded for clarity and seamless operation across formats. The 40 AMP is upgradeable with an external 40 PSU for enhanced power and performance.
