Full Description
"...if you’re looking for a top-quality CD player at this level, ignore this one at your peril."
The CDi XR is designed as a reference integrated CD player, building on the legacy of the CDi and incorporating many novel technologies developed in-house at Cyrus over recent years. Housed within iconic half-width chassis, The CDi-XR sits alongside above the existing CDi and CDt models, offering a substantive performance upgrade.
- Power supply design
- DAC Technology
- Integrated CD player
- Servo Evolution technology
- Twin analogue outputs
- Optical and coaxial outputs
- PSU-XR upgrade port
Internal Power Supply
The CDi-XR, like all products in the XR series, has had a complete overhaul of the power supplies to each circuit section. The power supplies are much stiffer and have enabled Cyrus engineers to get the remarkable SE engine to run even more quietly.
Second Generation QXR DAC
The DAC in the CDi-XR is our own second-generation QXR DAC platform with a key notable difference in its implementation. The CDi-XR, knows exactly which resolution is going to be received (44.1kHz, 16bit) and the incoming signal path that data is going to travel.
Transport / Servo
Several years ago, Cyrus invested heavily in developing our own in-house CD ‘Servo’ mechanism, the ‘Servo Evolution’. The design principle is to read as much information as possible from the disc itself first time, rather than having to rely on ‘re-reads’ or ‘error-correction’. Whilst it is true that the data on a CD is stored in ‘1s and 0s’, the way it is read, picking up different frequencies of reflected light, has analogue elements to it. Therefore, precision engineering can improve performance.
Containing Noise
The fundamental principle is that power starts at the ‘quietest’ part of the circuit, before flowing towards the ‘noiser’ sections. Less noise is therefore ‘carried’ or induced into the power paths, limiting the transmission of noise inside the product. Whilst this sounds logical, the application in practice is incredibly complex, and needs to be considered at a system-wide level. Even the geometric alignment of individual components has been optimized to facilitate the cleanest possible flow of power and musical signal. The DAC has been housed on its own shielded section of the PCB, again to help contain noise transfer.
