Further Information

The CDXT 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 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;

• Specifically developed for Audio data standards
• Up to 5 times fewer data errors than ordinary players
• Less reliance on error correction
• Better signal to noise ratio
• Improved laser control accuracy
• Upgrade path from recent Cyrus CD players

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 CDXT SE+ is (in the world of high-end audio) relatively inexpensive.

The ‘other half’ of the high-end CD playing system 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.

Technical Information

With the introduction of the acclaimed DAC X+ and DAC XP+ digital to analogue 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 CDXT SE+ is engineered to complement the DAC XP+ and other established ‘X’ series components as a high-end ‘digital optimised’ CD source.

• Clock stability is a key element in the signal processing chain in a player of this standard. The digital engineering of the CDXT SE+ therefore includes a special re-clocking circuit with close tolerance crystal VCO located at the threshold of the signal drive circuit to maximise jitter rejection.

• Packed into the stylish, compact chassis of the CDXT 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. In true Cyrus style the PSX-R power supply may also be connected to further refine the power supply system and take over power supply to the motors further improving resolution.

• Cyrus products have always delivered sonic excellence hand-in-hand with state-of-the-art technical performance. The CDXT SE+ is no exception and Cyrus are justifiably proud of the measured performance of the ‘X’ series transport and DAC combination. A CDXT SE+ partnered with a DAC X+ or DAC XP+ will deliver ruler-flat linearity performance, vanishingly low background noise and superb jitter rejection, out-performing most two box players in their class.

• A natural upgrade path for the CDXT 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.

• The unique MC-Bus connectivity of the CDXT SE+ is in keeping with the total system approach of the Cyrus range of products. This facility enhances ergonomic operation of the unit in a system context. Total automation of the test, alignment and calibration of the CDXT SE+ is facilitated via the MC-Bus during its manufacturing process, eliminating potential human error.

• The quality lightweight magnesium die-cast enclosure of the CDXT SE+ has 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 electro-magnetic disturbances. This also eliminates coupling of the power transformer stray magnetic fields to the sensitive audio circuitry.

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.

	Bowers & WIlkins 805 Diamond You asked for it. And now you’ve got it. The 805 Diamond is an industry world-first – the only speaker of its size and type to incorporate true studio-grade technology in the form of a diamond dome tweeter. Experience remarkable, lifelike sound from a discreet speaker that fits almost anywhere. Diamond dome tweeters have long been considered an exclusive luxury in the world of audio – a refinement to be reserved only for the most expensive, studio-sized loudspeakers. No longer. The 805 Diamond is nothing less than a revolution in speaker design: the first speaker of its size and at this price point to come with a diamond tweeter. Because studio-quality sound shouldn’t just be for studios. Small but perfectly formed, the 805 Diamond will fit almost everywhere. Tucked away on a bookshelf or positioned on its specially designed stand, it’s perfect for smaller listening spaces. And it will serve equally well as the rear channels of a home theatre system. With 805 Diamond, you can now bring superb, breath-takingly realistic sound to places you never thought possible.
