Cyrus Classic CDi - CD Player

The CDi is without doubt one of the most influential integrated CD players ever designed. Cyrus CD players have a history of class-leading performance, but none have so consistently wowed critics as the remarkable CDi which was judged the best CD player for four consecutive years by What Hi-Fi? Magazine. You’ve never really heard your CDs until you’ve listened to them on a CD i.

The principle objective with our CD players is to extract the data on the disc as accurately as possible the first time – and that is only possible through some very careful design and calibration in both the hardware and software elements of the player.

Features

• Servo-Evolution Technology
• Integrated DAC
• The Cyrus CDI CD Player can be upgraded further with a PSX-R2 which is an instant sonic upgrade through improving the power supply section of the filter stage. The benefits of a separate, isolated and highly regulated power supply allow internal electronics to upgrade their sonic performance.

CDi - Design Philosophy

Our CD players are better because they generate far less background noise than most. We call this our SE or Servo-Evolution technology. The principle itself is quite simple. Usually the laser mechanism (servo) which reads the data from a disc makes tiny movements side to side quite quickly to re-read miss-read data – this create ‘servo noise’ and that impacts the ‘noise-floor’ limiting the quality of the sound output.
