Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport Repro
The Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport is a pure CD transport system that delivers the very best sound from a CD. This is a premium CD Player. Featuring the highly advanced Cyrus SE ‘CD Engine’, dual transformers and PSX-R socket for upgrading to a PSX-R power supply, this is our definitive CD player. The Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport is the perfect partner with a DAC X+ or DAC XP+. Alternatively, if you are considering an integrated amplifier solution the 8 XP d or 8 XPd QX are highly capable partners.
The Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport 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 certain sections of the CD mechanics from the low level decoding sections. The most successful way we have found to do this is to manufacture the player in two separate and isolated die-cast chassis. The benefits of this approach bring higher resolution, quieter background and improved imagery.
The SE engineering was originally developed for the CDXT. The SE brings the following key benefits;
We realised quite quickly that if we could incorporate SE across the range this would bring an economy of scale and therefore only a relatively small extra cost to each model, rather than loading all the SE development overheads into the high-end model CDXT. This is why Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport is (in the world of high-end audio) relatively inexpensive.
The ‘other half’ of the high-end CD playing system in the Cyrus CDXT SE2 CD Transport is a matching DAC called DAC X+. Separating the mechanical elements from the low-level decoding circuits offers significant improvement to the resolution of the audio signals. Conversely joining the low level analogue signals, post DAC, with the preamplifier delivers improvements so we make a combined DAC and preamp model called DAC XP+ for the ultimate hi-performance solution. You have a choice between our high performance DAC X+ with our most advanced engineering or the preamp equipped version for the best systems. Being Cyrus, the multi-input decoder only (DAC X+) can be upgraded to full DAC XP+ dual mono, fully balanced preamplifier specification later on. So if the DAC XP+ is beyond your means initially, you can upgrade later and gain the benefits of the ultimate performance as funds allow.
This integration brings several benefits because, unlike the transport, the preamplifier benefits from its closer physical link to the DAC and a much smaller circuit topology.
