Item Condition: Mint Reason for selling: Smaller accommodation so am not using amp or speakers now Payment Method: Pickup - Cash Extra Info: DESCRIPTION Cyrus is a renowned British manufacturer of quality audio equipment. This award-winning model is now discontinued but was the premium integrated amplifier from the Cyrus range and includes the high-performance Qx DAC card. It can be upgraded with other Cyrus components to build a complete hi-fi system. https://www.cyrusaudio.com/support/other-resources/legacy-products/integrated-amplifiers/8-qx-dac/ This compact model has plenty of control and detail with good bass. The DAC produces fast dynamic sound, clear and well-balanced, and provides 5 digital inputs. High-quality modern integrated circuits are used for most signal-handling functions, including volume control. It has a large mains transformer to provide ample power. The aluminium die-cast chassis minimises resonance and is very durable. The IR remote control handset is included, and so is the original box.

CONDITION Mint condition. I bought it new and am very careful with my equipment. This amp has had minimal usage and has never been pushed hard, as I live in a small apartment with close neighbours. From smoke-free, pet-free, child-free home. Externally, both the amp and handset are pristine without any marks, scratches or other signs of wear.
