It's got a fast and agile sound, but newer rivals have overtaken it

    Fast, agile, dynamically superb; tonally balanced; very compact

  • Against

    Lacks some subtlety and detailing

Small, but perfectly formed from wood and glass, the Custom Design Milan 4 snugly encases our Cyrus CD 6 SE and Moon i-3RS test kit.

Our rig deals out a meaty, full-bodied, fast-paced sound with a centralised soundstage. There's good treble, responsive midrange and punchy bass, but compared with some it lacks subtlety and detailing.

Its rivals have closed the gap, and as a result it loses a star.
