Pre₂ Dac
Moving to a separate pre-amplifier and power amplifier offers another level of refinement to enthusiasts looking to upgrade from an integrated amplifier, or those looking to build a reference-grade system. A two-box set up enables the pre and power amplifiers to be run by separate power supplies resulting in a cleaner signal as the inductive effects of the large currents in the power amplifier are isolated from the sensitive components of the pre-amplifier.
The Pre₂ DAC offers complete control of your analogue and digital sources. With perfect balance, it delivers a superlative performance, although can easily be upgraded through the addition of a PSX R2 and QX module.
The effect is astonishing. The experience is cleaner, more powerful and fantastically engaging. You will rediscover your collection with a whole new perspective on the performance. The Pre2 DAC is our first step on the pre-amplifier ladder.
THE PRE2 DAC - PHILOSOPHY
The Pre2 DAC separates the pre amp into its own chassis and provides a dedicated power supply which means the pre amp can resolve more detail. Complete with a built-in DAC, the pre amp is compatible with a very wide range of sources such as CD players, streamers or your TV digital audio out.
The Pre2 DAC offers a sonic step up in performance from our integrated amplifiers. This is achieved because the pre amplifier circuitry has its own power supply. The internal power supply provides isolation from the demands of other system elements, making available an additional level of dynamics and resolution. The digital section also sounds better for the same reasons, especially when used with the optional Qx card, the audio quality rises further still.
If a PSX R2 is connected, owners will hear a large jump in performance as the PSX R2feeds the pre amp with a highly regulated and super smooth DC feed. The sonic uplift from the PSX R2 means the close tolerance components in the pre amp can be fully appreciated as they now benefit from the smoother supply.
The Pre2 DAC includes a carefully designed top quality digital section built into the pre amplifier with a Burr Brown 24-bit/192k DAC and a carefully designed power supply. With 5 digital inputs that enable the amplifier to connect and clearly improve the sound of connected digital sources including; your computer, DVD player, TV and many other digital sources. Our premium Qx DAC upgrade is available which takes performance to a higher level again.
The Pre2 DAC is designed to be partnered with one of our matching power amplifiers such as the X Power, Stereo 200 or Mono X 300 Signature. Build your system with a CD i or CD t and a Stream X Signature or Stream Xa for an exceptional music experience. Add a dedicated power supply such as the PSX R2 to further enhance the pre amp’s resolution.
Pre2 DAC前級擴大機 兼 24bit/192kHz數位類比轉換器
Cyrus的前級擴大機 兼 數位類比轉換器,使用精心挑選的元組件來切換輸入訊源,和控制系統的音量大小。這些依音響工程原理而決定的選擇,使這整體音響系統的音色表現,與坊間一般所謂的音響,有著很大的不同。Cyrus的綜合、以及前級擴大機系列,使用精密的方法來切換及控制訊號的輸出入,並個別依照Cyrus的綜合、以及前級擴大機系列聲音特性做調整,附加於擴大機內之數位類比轉換器,可以進一步增強與其它數位訊源:包括CD,數位串流和AV輸入(如電視)之連接。
因著使用各自的電源,為前級擴大機和後級功率擴大機分別供電,訊號線路的解析能力被大幅提高。因為擴大機本身不會施展“魔法”,讓音樂訊號放大,它們只是將輸入音樂訊號複製並放大,而放大的能力則來自供應給它們工作的電源;因此,電源供應的充足純淨與否,在很大程度上,決定了聲音品質的好壞。
電源供應的品質,對於數位電路(如數位類比轉換器),亦是同樣地重要。在我們的綜合、以及前級擴大機系列中,我們採用多重穩壓電源,因此每個電路受到其它相鄰電路的影響得降至最低。為了能使Cyrus的綜合、以及前級擴大機系列得以發揮其最終性能,我們製造一個稱為PSX-R2的獨立電源強化供應器,可將原有器材之性能提升到另一個境界。透過改進閣下原有器材直流電源供應的方式,PSX-R2將立刻提升閣下系統的所有聲音元素與其性能。Cyrus的電源強化供應並不是魔術,但他們以聰明的方式來達到音質整體進步的果效。
源自我們的82 DAC綜合擴大機平台的前級線路部分,Pre2 DAC前級擴大機 兼 24bit/192kHz數位類比轉換器提供了物超所值的性能價格比,使閣下可以輕易地進入使用前/後級擴大機的新世界。本機同樣可選用PSX-R2電源強化供應器,使之升級。
