Angeboten wird „Stream XP2 Qx“ von Cyrus als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Streaming Transport mit integriertem DAC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9076566009 endet am 02.08.2026 um 12:22 Uhr.
Ambitious. The €700 asking price sits clearly above the 75th percentile of €624 and notably exceeds the median of €536, making it a high ask rather than a bargain. While recent comparable listings show a 25th percentile of €449, this unit is priced at the top end of the known market, so buyers should expect premium condition or extras to justify the cost.
This Cyrus Stream XP2 remains a worthwhile buy for its seamless streaming, high-quality Burr-Brown DAC, and versatile digital inputs, offering excellent sound quality in a compact form. If it’s original-owner condition with included accessories like the power cable and remote, the price becomes more reasonable. Watch for age-related wear or missing parts, but if clean and complete, it’s a solid opportunity for a well-regarded preamp/DAC combo.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cyrus Audio: Heritage and Philosophy
Cyrus Audio emerged in 1984 as a specialist electronics brand spun off from loudspeaker manufacturer Mission, with the goal of creating amplifiers to complement Mission speakers. Founded under the direction of Peter Bartlett, a veteran from NAD, the company established its identity with the Cyrus One integrated amplifier—a half-width design featuring the distinctive "control lip" that remains iconic in audiophile circles today. The brand quickly positioned itself as a pioneer in compact, high-performance audio, and later became one of the first manufacturers to champion the Compact Disc format through its partnership with Philips in the early 1980s. After separating from Mission in the 1990s, Bartlett returned Cyrus to private ownership, where it remains independently operated from its Cambridgeshire headquarters.
Cyrus has maintained unwavering focus as a two-channel hi-fi specialist, eschewing multiroom or surround formats. The company's product portfolio centers on integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, CD players, digital-to-analog converters, and power supplies—all engineered around the principle of delivering high-end sound quality in compact form factors. The brand also pioneered networked audio, developing early high-performance music servers that demonstrated premium sound could be achieved in convenient, integrated packages.
Today, Cyrus occupies a distinctive position as a boutique, high-end British manufacturer that prioritizes sonic excellence and longevity over market size. Under current CEO Nick Clarke, the company continues evolving its Classic series—refined continuously since 1983—and the XR series, developed from scratch using cutting-edge DAC technology and UK manufacturing. Cyrus products consistently earn critical acclaim and industry awards, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value British engineering, meticulous design, and uncompromising sound quality over mass-market accessibility.
