Naim UQ v/s Cyrus Streamline

Posted by: Augusto Giusti on 09 May 2011

Hi,

Have you ever heard the new Cyrus Streamline? It seems to have the same features than UQ. As I'm writing in a Naim forum probably the answer is simple but, can you advice me which is better? I just want to play flac files mostly from an attached usb device. Thanks.

I auditioned the Cyrus Streamline expecting it to sound much better than the Unitiqute. To my ears it sounded very flat - the detail was there but the Naim was just massively more enjoyable to listen to. The rooms and dealers I auditioned in were different, however the sound in the UnitiQute with a pair of CM5s was incredible. I want to try it with the CM7s which I'll probably end up buying (I don't own it yet!).

Lets hope they sound as good in my studio flat!
