Cyrus 40 CD Integrated CD-Player

The design of high-end CD players has been one of the core competencies of Cyrus for many years, which has made a name for itself in the audio industry. For almost a decade, the team has been dedicated to the continuous development of "Servo Evolution" technology, which was specially developed to extract the data stored on CDs as precisely as possible on the first run. The primary goal of this technology is to achieve almost perfect freedom from noise and thus offer an unsurpassed sound experience. Due to these technological innovations, the company's CD players are considered absolute reference devices throughout the audiophile world.

The most advanced model in this range, the 40 CD is a prime example of Cyrus' technological leadership in digital audio reproduction. This integrated CD player features the latest DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) technology, making it a pioneer in the digital audio world. Bespoke DAC design is at the heart of Cyrus' digital products and the 40 CD expresses this approach at its best yet.

Digital performance of the 40 CD

At the heart of the 40 CD is the use of the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M chipset, which is based on HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology. This advanced technology ensures outstanding digital audio processing and enables the finest sound details to be reproduced precisely and without noise. The engineering team around Cyrus has carefully analyzed and optimized every single component of the 40 CD. In particular, the layout of the circuit boards has been revised to ensure that the DAC is perfectly tuned and thus offers unparalleled sound quality.

The use of the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DAC with its 32-bit processing ensures detailed and precise conversion of digital signals into analog audio signals. This enables exceptionally clear and dynamic music reproduction that will convince even the most demanding music lovers. The combination of this state-of-the-art technology and the innovative circuit board architecture of the 40 CD results in pristine and pure audio reproduction that reaches a new level of digital sound perfection.

Advanced power supply technology

To ensure the high performance and precision of the 40 CD, the company relies on sophisticated power supply technology. CD players such as the 40 CD are extremely complex devices that must work with a variety of signals. These signals include fast digital audio data, sensitive analog audio signals, and high-current servo and system controls. To minimize interference between these different signals, the device's power supply has been completely segmented.

The 40 CD's digital control circuits are powered by a dedicated, high-efficiency power supply, while other areas of the CD player are powered by an oversized universal power supply. This ensures optimal separation of the various circuits and prevents the signals from influencing each other. In total, nine individually tuned voltage regulators ensure that every circuit within the device receives the exact voltage it needs to function optimally. The result is a stable and noise-free power supply that makes a decisive contribution to the 40 CD's outstanding sound quality.

power supply optimization option

Even though the 40 CD already has an advanced power supply, there are still ways to improve the device further. One such way is the 40 PSU external power supply, which has been specifically designed to take the 40 CD's performance to an even higher level. With just a single cable, the 40 PSU can be connected to the 40 CD to further optimize the CD player's power supply.

The 40 PSU features multiple power outputs that are digitally controlled internally. These outputs are extremely stable and virtually noise-free, resulting in even more detailed and precise sound reproduction. With this extension, Cyrus offers users the opportunity to further refine the sound experience of the 40 CD and achieve the best possible audio quality.

High-quality housing and design of the 40 CD

In addition to its impressive technical performance, the 40 CD also impresses with its elegant design. The CD player is housed in a slim, brushed and black anodized aluminum housing that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. The housing features a full-surface linear heat sink that ensures effective heat dissipation, thus contributing to the longevity and performance stability of the device.

Another notable design element is the high-resolution 3.5" TFT color display, which is integrated into a tempered glass front panel. This display provides a clear and easy-to-read display of all important information and contributes to the elegant look of the device. The capacitive touch controls are another highlight of the design. They remain invisible until touched, giving the 40 CD a clean, minimalist aesthetic that fits perfectly into any modern hi-fi setup.

With the 40 CD, Cyrus presents a CD player that impresses in every respect - from the digital performance to the innovative power supply technology and the high-quality design. The ability to further optimize the device with an external power supply makes it an ideal choice for audiophile music lovers who are looking for absolute perfection in sound reproduction.
