Articulation and vibrancy
While the British audio brand has since launched the excellent flagship CDi-XR, the original CDi still sets the benchmark at its more modest (although admittedly still significant) price. And after a very short listen to it, we remain convinced of the scale of Cyrus’s achievement here.
We play Hans Zimmer’s Dream Is Collapsing from the Inception soundtrack and right away the CDi displays the uniform, articulate and intuitive presentation that we would expect from a more expensive player.
It offers buckets of detail, and the finer flurries of quieter instruments surface, while the more intense parts of the score soar to a dramatic climax. Each layer of the composition is precisely unpeeled, and each instrument passes through the mix with coherent flow and tact.
But the rhythmic talent here is what really raises our eyebrows. Pace and momentum is exercised with articulation and vibrancy.
