The XR version sits above the CD i (positioned above) in the grand scheme of Cyrus products. Owners of the CD6006UK needn't rush to change their player but the CD6007 is most definitely the right choice for first time buyers at this end of the market.Ĭyrus already dominated this list before the arrival of the CDi-XR, but its latest disc-spinner just reinforces the brand's domination of this category over the years. Stereo imaging is focused and expansive, and there are even a few digital filters to tweak the sound to your tastes. It's precise, clean and delivers for dynamics at every inch of the spectrum. What does all that mean? It makes your music sound great. That chip allows the CD6007 to process high-resolution files through USB-A on front socket, supporting PCM music up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD128. It has a quieter power supply and improved HDAM amplifier modules, helped along by a sprinkling of higher quality internal components, not least of which is the change of DAC chip to an AKM 4490. Despite the typically excellent build quality, though, it's the insides where Marantz has made the improvements to their CD players count. You'll need to go back a decade and four model cycles to find a CD6000 that looks notably different which is why you might do a double take if you scroll down to the predecessor further down the list.
