Product Details

Cyrus is well known for designing award winning cd players, so it comes as no surprise that they have included one in this new range. Ten years ago, they developed what they call ‘servo evolution’ which is centred around the philosophy of extracting the data on the disc as accurately as possible the first time to create an almost silent noise-floor.

So, with such a rich history of high performing cd players to choose from, Cyrus could easily have relied on a previous model for the 40 CD. Lucky for us, they have done just the opposite. Taking the brand-new 40 series DAC, Cyrus have continued to push the boundaries in what is possible with digital to analogue conversion, and they have also redesigned the 40 CD power supply to minimise interaction between the complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls.

By completely segmenting these circuits the digital control circuits run from a dedicated, high-efficiency supply, whilst other parts of the player are powered from an over-specified universal power supply. Nine individual stage regulators smooth and distribute power within the player according to demand, which Cyrus boasts has taken CD playback to another level. We cannot wait to hear these improvements for ourselves.

Digital Performance

Customised DAC design is at the forefront of all digital products from Cyrus, and the 40 CD embodies this approach like never before.

Based upon the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M chipset and HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology, every component has been analysed by our engineering team and the board layout fully optimised to tune the DAC so that we can achieve the highest possible performance.

Power Supply Design

CD players have a complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls.

To minimise interaction between these circuit stages the power supply design has been completely segmented. The digital control circuits run from a dedicated, high-efficiency supply, with other parts of the player powered from an over-specified universal power supply.

Nine individual stage regulators smooth and distribute power within the player according to demand.

Power Supply Upgrade

Even when the 40 CD is packaged with our latest custom designed switch mode power supply, improvements are always possible. To further enhance the experience and provide the 40 CD with the best configuration of power, you can easily connect the 40 PSU external power supply to the 40 CD with a single cable. Providing multiple supplies, all of the output voltages from the 40 PSU are digitally controlled internally, so are extremely stable and virtually noise free.

Custom Designed Chassis

The 40 CD is presented in a sleek brushed and black hard anodised aluminium case with a full width and height linear heatsink. The hi-res 3.5” full colour TFT display sits comfortably inside a toughened glass front panel including hidden- until-lit capacitive touch controls.
