Description
The CD Xt SE+is the transport or disc spinning half of the ultimate Cyrus CD player system.
At the highest levels of CD player development we have learnt that it is beneficial to separate delicate DAC circuitry from the disc decoding sections. The most successful way we have found to do this is to manufacture the player in two separate isolated die-cast chassis. The benefits of this approach bring higher resolution, quieter background and improved imagery.
The CD Xt SE+ provides the front half of such a two box system, able to provide an exceptionally clean signal to the delicate circuitry of an accompanying DAC X+ or DAC XP+ for ultimate CD performance.

More Details
With the introduction of the acclaimed DAC X+ and DAC XP+ D/A converters, Cyrus moved into a new league for replay of digital sources by offering 192kHz up-sampling, true 192kHz DACs and full differential modes of operation. The CD Xt SE+ is engineered to complement the DAC XP and other established ‘X’ series components as a high-end ‘digital optimised’ CD source. Key features of the CD Xt SE+ are:
Includes a remote re-clocking circuit with close-tolerance crystal VCO located at the DAC threshold to maximise jitter rejection.
Packed into the compact chassis of the CD Xt SE+ is a high quality toroidal power transformer. The transformer has two entirely separate secondary windings with one dedicated to feeding the sensitive reclocking circuits and the other supplying a completely separate feed to the current hungry motors.
A natural upgrade path for the CD Xt SE+ owner is the acquisition of an optional PSX-R external DC Power supply. This unique and intelligent component allows the CD Xt SE+ to tap into a massive reserve of highly regulated DC energy source. Providing a completely separate power feed for the high current demands of the mechanism motors, the PSX-R effectively removes the dynamically changing load of the motors from the internal power transformer.
MC-Bus connectivity allows the unit to talk intelligently to other connected Cyrus units, automatically switching to the appropriate configuration with the touch of just one button.
High quality magnesium die-cast enclosure, which delivers a myriad of advantages both electrically and mechanically. The non-resonant nature of the alloy minimises microphonic effects, while its non-ferrous composition provides an effective shield from external RF disturbances. This also eliminates coupling of the power transformer stray magnetic fields to the sensitive audio circuitry. Lower cost steel enclosures do not offer these benefits.
Partnered with a DAC XP+ and a pair of PSX-R power supplies, this four box combination offers the discerning audio enthusiast one of the most rewarding CD systems in the world.
