This model works as a digital transport in the absence of a built-in digital-to-analog converter. Removing additional circuitry allows CDt to focus solely on data extraction and delivering high-performance digital output.
The absence of a DAC unit and an analog part in this model create a more favorable environment for the formation of a digital output stream, which has a beneficial effect on sound quality.
The Cyrus CDi-XR full CD player uses a proprietary second-generation QXR DAC. The Cyrus Audio developers emphasize that this is a more advanced solution compared to Burr Brown chips from Texas Instruments, which were used to build previous generations of the company's CD players. The DAC unit is located in a fully shielded section of the player's body and is optimized for decoding material from CDs with a resolution of 16 bit / 44 kHz.
The new 40 Series DAC is integrated into the Cyrus 40 CD Player. The ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chipset uses a powerful processor to ensure high fidelity. The CD player is equipped with a boot slot and does not have a drawer. The mechanism is equipped with an accurate servo drive and securely locks the disc, preventing shaking.
