(Sold) Cyrus dAD7 CD Player

Borrowed picture from the internet.


The Cyrus CD dAD7 is basically a combined version of the separate components of Cyrus Discmaster and the Cyrus Dacmaster player. This has been the flagship source from the company, and was a super implementation of the popular Philips platform by using the Philips CD9 swing-arm mechanism and an Analog Devices AD1861 DAC.

The Cyrus dAD7 CD Player sported the Discmaster’s high stability, low jitter system clock module, and extensive inter-stage power supply decoupling together with star-earthing techniques to prevent noise going between the machine's different stages. The Philips CDM9 mechanism had a glass laser and was placed on a tuned, self-centering suspension system to prevent the ingress of vibration. This is critical for superb tracking of the CD layer to reproduce details burned into the disc.

Sonically, the dAD7 is a sophisticated sounding device. It is clean, open and detailed. There is a sense of smoothness and decorum to it that wasn’t so common in most CD players. Tonally, it is has been commented as being more refined than earlier Philips TDA1541-based machines. In short, it trod a carefully judged path between insight and excess; it was musically propulsive and engaging, but not hard and jarring. Bass was solid and tuneful, treble decently delicate and spacious. 

Overall, the Cyrus offers a surprisingly elegant sound for a mid-price machine.
