Upgrading to SE from an earlier Cyrus CD player
Many Cyrus CD players are upgradeable to the latest Cyrus SE models via an affordable return-to-factory upgrade. This allows existing customers to return their 6, 8 and Xt players to Cyrus Audio and take full advantage of the Cyrus servo system.
Cyrus upgrades replaces many parts with new components such as the advanced Servo Evolution PCB and software, plus their precision slot- loading mechanism. Some sections of the power supplies and main DAC PCB can be re-used, however, even these elements require modification to match the more advanced acoustic tuning of the SE players. This means upgraded players take full advantage of the additional resolution delivered by the more advanced Cyrus SE systems.
Adding Resolution
Adding a Cyrus PSX-R is the easiest upgrade to accomplish. Nearly every Cyrus component can benefit from the addition of our highly-regulated power supply. The Cyrus PSX-R feeds the sensitive electronics you paid for in your Cyrus component with super smooth power, thus allowing your system to reproduce music without the “noise” introduced into the mains supply by all the mass-produced electronics, such as computers and flat screen TV’s. As a general statement about the benefit of a Cyrus PSX-R, we say that power supplies aid resolution.
Adding Dynamics
Adding more power is the second most popular upgrade after a Cyrus PSX-R. Adding a matching Cyrus power amp will add dynamics in a system. This means the system will be closer to the live sound. As a general rule, the more power you have in a system, the better it sounds. It is a common misunderstanding that you match power to the room size, but whatever the room size, more powerful amps will sound better. The Cyrus 6 Power can be upgraded to an Cyrus 8 Power and the Cyrus 8 Power can be upgraded to a Cyrus X Power. Both the 8 and X Power amps can run in stereo or mono, so it’s easy to buy them in stages as funds allow. As a general rule, larger power amps aid dynamics.
Don't forget, all upgrades automatically receive a new Cyrus 2-year warranty!
