The Cyrus i9-XR amplifier and PMC Prodigy1 speakers complement each other with a natural, uncoloured sound, making them ideal for an immersive, listening experience. The i9-XR’s advanced QXR DAC, with its customisable digital filters and support for high-resolution audio, allows listeners to fine-tune playback, ensuring every nuance is captured. This clarity pairs perfectly with the Prodigy1’s  which produces tight, controlled bass and clear, accurate mids and highs. Together, they deliver a detailed and balanced audio response, ideal for small to medium-sized rooms where quality and space efficiency are priorities.

Refined Design and Digital Performance

The Cyrus i9-XR amplifier, the flagship of Cyrus's XR range, boasts significant upgrades from its predecessors. Housed in the signature die-cast Cyrus casing, the i9-XR showcases a sleek new phantom black finish and a high-resolution display with customisable brightness, contrast, and polarity. Its touch-sensitive controls add a modern, tactile feel, setting the i9-XR apart with both aesthetic appeal and intuitive usability. Inside, this amplifier includes ground-up engineering enhancements, featuring advanced digital capabilities thanks to its improved QXR DAC.

High-Quality DAC and Power Supply Integration

The i9-XR’s digital performance is powered by an updated 2nd generation QXR DAC with a high-speed analogue buffer stage, giving users precision control over sound through seven digital filter options. It supports high-resolution audio formats, with USB audio capability up to 768kHz sample rate, DSD up to DSD512, and multiple digital inputs. Additionally, the amplifier includes a port for the PSU-XR power supply upgrade, which offers five independent regulated supplies. This PSU-XR boosts the performance by providing smoother, isolated power to the preamplifier and enhancing the dynamic range of the power amplifier.

Outstanding Analogue and Phono Stages

For analogue connectivity, the i9-XR features a new analogue preamplifier with a high-performance gain stage, inherited from the high-end Pre-XR preamplifier, allowing a highly transparent and short-path signal. It includes four analogue inputs and a phono MM stage, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of analogue sources. The power amplifier operates across a wide frequency range, ensuring a clear and accurate audio response. Additionally, the integrated low-noise phono stage, inspired by the Phono Signature design, is optimised for vinyl playback, delivering excellent dynamic range and minimal noise for a superior turntable experience.

Inside the Prodigy1

PMC's commitment to delivering natural, uncolored sound is evident in the Prodigy1. The Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading is a cornerstone of PMC's renowned sound quality. ATL intelligently and efficiently utilizes the energy generated by the bass driver, outperforming traditional ported or sealed box designs. The addition of PMC Laminair airflow technology further refines ATL, enhancing clarity, timing, and eliminating unwanted air noise.

A Compact/Bookshelf Speaker

The PMC Prodigy1 Bookshelf/Standmount Speakers exemplify the perfect blend of compact design and robust sound, providing an outstanding audio experience in small to medium-sized rooms. Drawing from PMC's acclaimed nearfield monitors used in recording and broadcast studios worldwide, the Prodigy1 reveals intricate details, immersing you in the original performance regardless of space limitations.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
