Cyrus XR Series CDi-XR CD Player

CDi-XR use twin microprocessors. One chip handles all the user interface and housekeeping, while the second is dedicated to running the SE engine. This prevents crucial timing information from being interrupted by the processor being asked to do other things.

The physical loader is also new, giving better performance than the previous model. There is a re-clocking circuit to reduce jitter too. In terms of board layout, flow and return principles have been applied to the DAC section and the signal path throughout the entire player.
Other improvements include new filter stages and a 2nd Generation QXR DAC specifically optimized to 16bit 44.1kHz.
Can be upgraded with the addition of the PSU-XR
