Setup and installation
Contents
We have tested the Cyrus Classic Stream both with and without a separate power supply and with the built-in dac. We used the Stream’s RCA outputs to connect it to our Moon amplifier. The Moon in turn drives our Revels. Cables come from Driade.
We streamed exclusively via BluOS and used the dac on our CD transport. Importer Number One Hifi also provided us with a Cyrus Classic AMP that we played with for a while. The Classic Stream was not yet Roon Ready at the time of writing but the lincense has been submitted.
