Cyrus Audio CDi CD Player CYRUS CDi CD player - purchased new in 2021 from Carlton Audio Visual. Excellent mint condition. Complete with remote and all original packaging.

If this is the Cyrus CD player/monoblock listing as titled, the asking price sits above the AUD 1,371 median but well within the AUD 1,688 75th percentile, so it reads as fairly pitched rather than cheap. At A$1,100, it’s not a bargain-basement deal, but it’s solidly in the normal used range for a desirable Cyrus piece.
The upside here is the usual Cyrus appeal: compact, properly engineered, lively sound, and strong system-matching if you like pace and control over soft presentation. A like-new example is a plus, especially if it’s been stored well and includes the PSU, remote, box, and cables. I’d view this as a buyable listing if the photos and accessories check out.

Cyrus Audio: Heritage and Philosophy
Cyrus Audio emerged in 1984 as a specialist electronics brand spun off from loudspeaker manufacturer Mission, with the goal of creating amplifiers to complement Mission speakers. Founded under the direction of Peter Bartlett, a veteran from NAD, the company established its identity with the Cyrus One integrated amplifier—a half-width design featuring the distinctive "control lip" that remains iconic in audiophile circles today. The brand quickly positioned itself as a pioneer in compact, high-performance audio, and later became one of the first manufacturers to champion the Compact Disc format through its partnership with Philips in the early 1980s. After separating from Mission in the 1990s, Bartlett returned Cyrus to private ownership, where it remains independently operated from its Cambridgeshire headquarters.
Cyrus has maintained unwavering focus as a two-channel hi-fi specialist, eschewing multiroom or surround formats. The company's product portfolio centers on integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, CD players, digital-to-analog converters, and power supplies—all engineered around the principle of delivering high-end sound quality in compact form factors. The brand also pioneered networked audio, developing early high-performance music servers that demonstrated premium sound could be achieved in convenient, integrated packages.
Today, Cyrus occupies a distinctive position as a boutique, high-end British manufacturer that prioritizes sonic excellence and longevity over market size. Under current CEO Nick Clarke, the company continues evolving its Classic series—refined continuously since 1983—and the XR series, developed from scratch using cutting-edge DAC technology and UK manufacturing. Cyrus products consistently earn critical acclaim and industry awards, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value British engineering, meticulous design, and uncompromising sound quality over mass-market accessibility.
