Hifi Pig gave you a sneaky peak of the new all in one player from Cyrus Audio way back in September and now the company has officially announced the launch of its Lyric Series – its first ever all-in-one music system range.

At launch, two products are available; Lyric 09 and Lyric 05

• Lyric 09 – UKSRP £3000.00 – 170 watts per channel into 8 Ohms and advanced 32 bit/192 kHz up sampling DAC
• Lyric 05 – UKSRP £2250.00 – 80 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 24bit/192 kHz DAC

Lyric 05 gets a 24bit/192kHz DAC whilst the range-topping Lyric 09 gets the advanced 32bit/192kHz DAC with upsampling, developed for the company’s Signature series.
