The Cyrus CDt is a ‘transport-only’ version of the multi-award winning CDi. If you’re looking for a player as part of a Cyrus system, to plug into the Classic AMP or one of the pre-amplifier products – this is the version to go for. No whistles or bells – just a brilliantly clean and perfectly delivered performance from the award-winning transport.
Servo Evolution
Cyrus CD players perform better because they generate far less background noise than other CD players. The principle of this so called Servo-Evolution technology 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 creates ‘servo noise’ and that impacts the ‘noise-floor’ limiting the quality of the sound output.
The principle objective with the 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.
Connectivity
Optical and coaxial outputs provide connectivity to a variety of DAC’s.
Pure Transport Operation
By removing the onboard DAC, the CDt works purely as a digital transport. Removing additional circuitry allows the CDt to focus purely on data retrieval and providing a high performance digital output.
Precision Slot Loading Drive
CDt features the latest generation of the slot load CD technology. This quiet and low contact mechanism provides myriad benefits to the traditional tray method of loading a CD whilst also de-cluttering the front panel for an improved aesthetic.
Specification:
Unique amongst British high-end audio manufacturers, pioneering work in Cambridgeshire research and development studios has led to remarkable advances in DAC design, Power management, CD servo design, and noise rejection. Each of classic and XR products is housed in hand-finished inverted ‘cast-aluminium’ chassis and fitted with the finest audio components available. The stunning elegance and searing performance of your Cyrus music system truly justify their ‘pride-of-place’ in your listening or sitting room.
