The i9-XR is an integrated amplifier with DAC and MM phono stage from Cyrus Audio, built with comprehensive five-input single-ended connectivity. The i9-XR brings Cyrus's considered engineering to a complete integrated solution within the brand's characteristic compact chassis.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided, with no balanced inputs - consistent with Cyrus's characteristic single-ended-focused compact design philosophy. The built-in DAC and MM phono stage cover digital and vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard components.

Sound and use context

Given Cyrus's broader reputation for distinctive compact-chassis British engineering, expect the i9-XR to deliver dependable amplification with convenient built-in digital and phono functionality.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and MM phono stage cover digital and vinyl sources directly, and Cyrus's own 40 CD player shares the brand's coherent compact-chassis design philosophy.

Alternatives

Cyrus's own Classic PRE preamplifier offers a separates-based alternative for buyers wanting a dedicated preamplifier and power amplifier configuration instead.
