Cyrus Audio unveiled the 80 AMP networked integrated amplifier at The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2026, following an earlier 80 Series preview at Munich High End.

The Cyrus Audio 80 Series comprises three full-size components, marking a shift from compact designs toward higher power, performance headroom, and sonic authority.

Unlike the Munich prototype, the 80 AMP now appears as a finished production model with its streaming section fully implemented and ready for market demonstration.

Roksan has introduced two new components to its Caspian Series: the Streaming Pre-Amplifier and Power Amplifier, both hand-made in the UK with minimalist design and advanced features.

The Streaming Pre-Amplifier supports BluOS streaming, Roon Ready integration, and features a fully balanced analogue pre-amplifier with Rapture dual mono DAC for 24-bit/192kHz audio.

The Power Amplifier utilizes Roksan's Euphoria Class A/B architecture, delivering up to 200W per channel with precision-engineered circuits for dynamic sound and minimal distortion.
