Cyrus 40 AMP Integrated Amplifier
Compact British Engineering With Serious Intent
The Cyrus 40 AMP is not a lifestyle amplifier. It is a deliberately engineered, performance-first integrated amplifier designed for listeners who value precision, control and long-term system building.
Developed as part of the Cyrus 40 Series and built in the UK, the 40 AMP combines high-efficiency amplification, advanced digital processing and a flexible analogue stage in a compact chassis that reflects Cyrus’ long-standing design philosophy: keep signal paths short, power supplies stable and engineering choices purposeful.
This is an amplifier for people who listen carefully.
Power Delivery With Intent, Not Excess
Rather than chasing headline wattage figures, Cyrus focuses on how power is delivered. The 40 AMP provides 100 watts per channel into 6 ohms, but more importantly, it delivers that power quickly, cleanly and with excellent load stability.
The hybrid Class D output stage is tuned for speed and control, allowing the amplifier to respond accurately to dynamic swings and complex musical passages. This results in tight bass, clear midrange articulation and a sense of rhythmic precision that Cyrus amplifiers are known for.
It is an amplifier that sounds composed at low levels and confident when pushed.
Digital Architecture That Is Actually Taken Seriously
Digital inputs are not an afterthought here. The 40 AMP uses a high-resolution ESS Sabre DAC with careful clocking and local regulation to minimise jitter and noise. Digital signals are handled with the same attention as the analogue stages, ensuring streaming sources, TV audio and digital transports all benefit from proper conversion and signal integrity.
HDMI eARC integration allows the 40 AMP to function as the audio hub for a modern living space, delivering proper stereo sound from a television without resorting to soundbars or AV receivers.
Analogue Still Matters
Despite its modern feature set, the Cyrus 40 AMP does not neglect analogue sources. A dedicated moving magnet phono stage allows direct connection of a turntable, while line-level inputs are kept short and clean to preserve signal purity.
This balance between analogue and digital reflects Cyrus’ belief that flexibility should not come at the cost of sound quality.
Compact Design, System Thinking
Cyrus has always embraced compact form factors, not for aesthetics alone, but for engineering reasons. Short internal signal paths, controlled grounding and efficient thermal behaviour are easier to manage in a smaller enclosure.
The aluminium chassis provides rigidity and shielding, while the overall design allows the amplifier to integrate easily into both traditional hi-fi racks and modern furniture.
This is a component designed to live in a system for years, not to be replaced quickly.
