40 PPACyrus have been designing and building phono preamplifiers in the UK for a long time now, so when we say that the 40 PPA is our best yet, and one of the best in the market, we say it with confidence!As with all 40 series products, we have completely re-imagined the design of the product and audio flow from beginning to end, carefully shielding the very sensitive signals from any interference.Enjoy your vinyl collection like never before.MC/MM Cartridge CompatibleThe 40 PPA provides complete flexibility with your choice of cartridge. Whether you enjoy the ease of a Moving Magnet cartridge or the detail and ability to match the output of a Moving Coil cartridge, the 40 PPA has got you covered.Connect up to Four TurntablesOne of the key features of the 40 PPA is the ability to connect up to four sources, allowing the listener to easily switch between turntables, arms or cartridges as desired. Each input can be adjusted between Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, for which specific gain (in 5dB steps), resistance and capacitance can be be set independently.Advanced Circuit DesignThe 40 PPA enjoys a high capacity and very low noise DC power supply that enables the preamplifier to provide an extremely wide dynamic range ensuring extended signal levels long before clipping. Attention to circuit layout and component placement ensures a very low noise floor to further expand musical dynamics.Balanced / Unbalanced OutputsDepending on your system set up, the 40 PPA provides both balanced XLR outputs, or unbalanced RCA outputs.Custom Designed RemoteThe custom designed remote allows for full setup and operation of the 40 PPA as well as other 40 series Cyrus products.

40 PSUPower supply design has always been key to the overall performance of audio products and with the 40 PSU, we have delivered not only a product packaged within the sleek design of the 40 series aluminium chassis, but a new approach to providing clean and stable power for your compatible 40 series host product. Incorporating its own on-board micro-processor, the 40 PSU communicates directly with the host product to consistently provide the best configuration of virtually noise-free power from a full range of digitally controlled voltage output levels.40 AMP EnhancementsWhen connected to the 40 AMP, the 40 PSU provides the power amp section with a serious boost of clean power, further stiffening the main power supply rails to the amplifier, meaning that the amplified signal can more accurately track the input signal. You hear this accuracy in the music which becomes more transparent and more detailed. The Pre-Amp section is completely driven by the 40 PSU, again this means a stiffer supply – leading to greater accuracy.This leaves the internal power supply to run the DAC section, and because it is now doing less work, the supply it can provide to the DAC is more robust. In our listening tests we observed a massive improvement on the 40 AMP. We got more weight, more authority, better detail, better attack, overall better control of rise and fall of notes, and more accurate timing.40 CD EnhancementsWhen connected to the 40 CD, the 40 PSU powers the master clock, which helps to improve jitter. It also powers the CD motors, which is electrically speaking a very noisy circuit as the motors are constantly changing velocity. Taking this supply outside the box lowers the overall noise within the box, helping the player to perform even more accurately.The 40 PSU also takes over powering the analogue side of the DAC, with the internal supply powering the digital side of the DAC. Again, this separation of power supplies helps to limit the transfer of noise. Sonically, we get improved timing, better control of base notes, more accurate edges and control of notes and enhanced imagery.40 ST EnhancementsWhen connected to the 40 ST, the 40 PSU takes over powering the analogue side of the DAC and the BluOS network module. This provides those sections of the circuit with a cleaner more stable supply of power improving the audio performance of the streamer, bringing out new levels of detail in the music as well as offering greater control.You will also find that it creates more space round the instruments and vocals providing greater depth and a holographic soundstage.

40 CDThe design of high-performance cd players has been one of our key disciplines for many years, and the results speak for themselves. We developed what we call ‘servo evolution’ nearly ten years ago, which focuses on extracting the data on the disc as accurately as possible the first time to create an almost silent noise-floor. This has resulted in our CD players being used as a reference around the world, and the 40 CD continues to push the boundaries of digital playback with our latest integrated cd players boasting our most advanced DAC to date. The power supply has also been completely redesigned to minimise interaction between the complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls. By completely segmenting these circuits the digital control circuits run from a dedicated, high-efficiency supply, whilst other parts of the player are powered from an over-specified universal power supply. Nine individual stage regulators smooth and distribute power within the player according to demand, taking the overall performance of the 40 CD to another level.Encased in the sleek design of the 40 series aluminium casing, and finished in anodised brushed black with a 3.5” hi-resolution full colour TFT display, the 40 CD really does offer fans of CD playback one of the best products on the market at any price.Digital PerformanceCustomised DAC design is at the forefront of all digital products from Cyrus, and the 40 CD embodies this approach like never before. Based upon the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M chipset and HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology, every component has been analysed by our engineering team and the board layout fully optimised to tune the DAC so that we can achieve the highest possible performance.Power Supply DesignCD players have a complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls.

To further enhance the experience and provide the 40 CD with the best configuration of power, you can easily connect the 40 PSU external power supply to the 40 CD with a single cable. Providing multiple supplies, all of the output voltages from the 40 PSU are digitally controlled internally, so are extremely stable and virtually noise free.
