Hi all. Haven't seen any info about this before and came across it today whilst searching for something on the net. Looks like they took their Cyber 10 tube amp and added USB input....and I must say it looks fantastic! I wonder what availability is.

I saw a little bit about it in the coverage of the German high-end audio show at Enjoythemusic.com. Looks like it will be around EUR1000 though! Here is their official product page. Can be used in ultra-linear and triode mode; has both headphone (1/4" and 1/8") and speaker output; uses two KT88 / 6550 tubes,one ECC82, and one ECC81.

Talk about yer market differentiation! It certainly has the aesthetic touches in spades!

Consonance is very good but a bit expensive in the international market compared to its other Chinese peers. I once owned a Cyber 20 headphone amp, my first Transformer Coupled Headphone amp, which really opened up my ears. Very good build quality and sonics.

The Cyber 10 is said to incorporate the highly reputable DAC section from its acclaimed CD120 CD player. If this is true, that its DAC function alone will be sufficient to set itself apart from other contenders.

If you can find sources to import direct from China, I would believe the price will be must lower.

Considering that DAC section, it actually isn't that bad a price at all - and I am sure it can be found significantly cheaper than that RRP. This is in light of other high-end USB DACs and headphone amps, and even just the high-end USB DACs (like those from Wavelength Audio).

Has anyone already tried this amp?

I read a review about 3 years ago for it's older version. They said Cyber 10 is a very "Musical" pice of gear.
