What I don't like with all these British players (Cyrus, Rega, Musical Fidelity) is that none of them has balanced outputs, and some of them don't even have detachable power cord..."
??????
(1) REGA , CYRUS, ARCAM, MF, LINN, NAIM, ROKSAN, CREEK, U-NAME-IT , and all the rest of the Euro quality build cd spinners ALL DO HAVE detachable independent power cords (mains power supply in Euro-speak) ... Full stop. They make them for a world-wide market with different connector plugs and different power grids...
REGA / LINN / NAIM - as examples - even supply their own custom bespoke power cords (~$250- 300 price-point ) instead of the standard cheap crap quality bargain basement throw-in cables in cheap quality kit.
even my prior B system Chi-fi NAD budget followed suit, but it certainly sounded much better when I upgraded the throw-in ultra cheap supplied power cord to a better quality upgraded one.
( 2) My REGA cdp certainly does have balanced outputs (XLR) that I use in addition to the separate set of unbalanced (RCA) outputs .
