It pairs the same BluOS platform and ESS Sabre DAC found in the 80 AMP with a dedicated preamplifier circuit, balanced headphone output, and every digital and analog input you'd need. Partner it with the 80 PWR power amplifier for a two-box system that outperforms any single chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fdf8f4; border-left: 4px solid #A3704D; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 24px 0; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Cyrus 80 Series will be available as soon as it passes US certification.

The HyperStream IV dual-DAC topology was tuned by the Cyrus engineering team for minimum jitter and maximum dynamic range across all inputs. Digital connections cover every format you'd encounter: two optical, two coaxial, asynchronous USB-B for computer audio, and HDMI eARC for TV. The DAC handles lossless formats up to 24-bit\/192kHz, and MQA decoding is built in for MQA-encoded sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBluOS Streaming on the Cyrus 80 PRE\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eBluOS is integrated directly into the 80 PRE, providing access to Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, TuneIn, and local network libraries. The platform supports multi-room grouping with other BluOS devices, and the app handles browsing, playback, and room management from your phone, tablet, or computer. AirPlay 2 and Roon Ready are both built in. For a separates system, having the streaming platform in the preamp rather than in a separate box keeps the signal path short and the component count low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"Cyrus 80 PRE rear panel showing balanced headphone output, XLR, phono, and digital connections\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/cyrus-80-pre-rear.jpg?v=1773166215\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBalanced Headphone Output\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 80 PRE includes both a standard single-ended headphone output and a balanced headphone output. The balanced output uses separate amplifier channels for each driver, eliminating crosstalk and delivering more power to demanding headphones. If you own balanced headphones (or are considering them), this is a significant step up from the standard headphone output on the 80 AMP. For late-night listening or headphone-centric setups, the 80 PRE doubles as a capable headphone amplifier without needing a separate box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSeparates Performance from the Cyrus 80 PRE\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe fundamental advantage of running separates is isolation. In a single-chassis amplifier, the preamp circuit lives next to a power section generating heat and electromagnetic interference. The 80 PRE separates the signal processing, DAC, and volume control into their own chassis, where they can operate in a quieter electrical environment. Pair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cyrus-80-pwr-power-amplifier\"\u003e80 PWR\u003c\/a\u003e and the power amplifier handles nothing but amplification, resulting in a lower noise floor and better control at both low and high volumes. The balanced XLR connection between the two units keeps the signal clean over the interconnect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"Cyrus 80 PRE and 80 PWR separates system with 40 Series components\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/cyrus-80-pre-carousel2.jpg?v=1773166211\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFull-Width Chassis Design\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 80 PRE shares the same full-width aluminum chassis as the rest of the 80 Series. The wider footprint gives the engineering team more room for circuit isolation between the analog and digital sections, better thermal management, and a larger TFT display that shows album art and source info clearly from across the room. The matte black finish and industrial design language match the 40 Series, so you can stack an 80 PRE on an 80 PWR and mix in 40 Series components without any visual clash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBuild Your Cyrus System\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 80 PRE pairs directly with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cyrus-80-pwr-power-amplifier\"\u003eCyrus 80 PWR\u003c\/a\u003e for a two-box separates system delivering 200W per channel (or 300W in bridged mono).
