Off-the-shelf mechanisms produce significant 'system noise' when the stepper motors of the mechanism are required to be used during the error correction processes when the data was not picked up on the first pass.

We developed what we call ‘servo evolution’ nearly ten years ago, which focuses on extracting the data on the disc as accurately as possible the first time to create an almost silent noise-floor. This has resulted in our CD players being used as a reference around the world, and the 40 CD continues to push the boundaries of digital playback with our latest integrated cd players boasting our most advanced DAC to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomised DAC design is at the forefront of all digital products from Cyrus, and the 40 CD embodies this approach like never before. Based upon the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M chipset and HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology, every component has been analysed by our engineering team and the board layout fully optimised to tune the DAC so that we can achieve the highest possible performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply Design \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD players have a complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls. To minimise interaction between these circuit stages the power supply design has been completely segmented. The digital control circuits run from a dedicated, high-efficiency supply, with other parts of the player powered from an over-specified universal power supply. Nine individual stage regulators smooth and distribute power within the player according to demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven when the 40 CD is packaged with our latest custom designed switch mode power supply, improvements are always possible. To further enhance the experience and provide the 40 CD with the best configuration of power, you can easily connect the 40 PSU external power supply to the 40 CD with a single cable. Providing multiple supplies, all of the output voltages from the 40 PSU are digitally controlled internally, so are extremely stable and virtually noise free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Designed Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 CD is presented in a sleek brushed and black hard anodised aluminium case with a full width and height linear heatsink.

We developed what we call ‘servo evolution’ nearly ten years ago, which focuses on extracting the data on the disc as accurately as possible the first time to create an almost silent noise-floor. This has resulted in our CD players being used as a reference around the world, and the 40 CD continues to push the boundaries of digital playback with our latest integrated cd players boasting our most advanced DAC to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomised DAC design is at the forefront of all digital products from Cyrus, and the 40 CD embodies this approach like never before. Based upon the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M chipset and HyperStream IV Dual DAC technology, every component has been analysed by our engineering team and the board layout fully optimised to tune the DAC so that we can achieve the highest possible performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply Design \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD players have a complex mix of signals which includes fast digital audio, sensitive analogue audio, high current servo and system controls. To minimise interaction between these circuit stages the power supply design has been completely segmented. The digital control circuits run from a dedicated, high-efficiency supply, with other parts of the player powered from an over-specified universal power supply. Nine individual stage regulators smooth and distribute power within the player according to demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven when the 40 CD is packaged with our latest custom designed switch mode power supply, improvements are always possible. To further enhance the experience and provide the 40 CD with the best configuration of power, you can easily connect the 40 PSU external power supply to the 40 CD with a single cable. Providing multiple supplies, all of the output voltages from the 40 PSU are digitally controlled internally, so are extremely stable and virtually noise free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Designed Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 CD is presented in a sleek brushed and black hard anodised aluminium case with a full width and height linear heatsink.
