Cyrus dAD1
Is this a joke or what ???
I thought that Cyrus company was a serious UK player in the industry, something comparable to Meridian or Linn or Naim.
Bwwahahahaha.
This is a cheap walkman from Philips with plastic enclosure removed and PCB put inside the aluminium cast enclosure.
They added a transformer and one opamp output stage (unnecessary) and
this has pretensions to hifi. Something a'la the California Audio.
Please, do me a favour, and for 1/10th of its price go buy yourself a Grundig 8100 or 8400MKII.
Good night and good luck.

Philips TDA1311 DAC chip (the cheapest one ever made), which makes it simple and infact attractive sounding.
