I've been considering upgrading my amp (Rotel RA-06), and been offered very good prices on the following Cyrus amps:
Cyrus 8a
Cyrus 8 dac
Cyrus 8 dac qx
My speakers are PMC DB1i, which I adore.
Will I see a material increase in sound quality going from the rotel to the Cyrus 8? My source is FLAC files played through DacMagic (to be replaced with the Bushmaster mk2) via squeezebox duet receiver. From what I can see, they are both high current amps. It's just that I bought my hifi from scratch, and bought the amp that I auditioned the speakers with, so have never tried anything else.
Has anyone compared the 8 dac vs DacMagic or BM2? I just wonder what to expect in terms of sound quality.
Again, with the 8 dac qx. Is it worth a £300 premium to the 8 dac, and would I hear the benefit with my speakers and source?
All help and advice welcome...
