i'd say you definitely have to compare yourself. i had the cd6se on home demo a couple of months ago, and after initially thinking wow, really dynamic and punchy with great treble, i ended up feeling fatigued. it seemed, to me, that the sound was just relentless and a little forced. this was with a primare i30 and my focus 110's. i'm not saying i thought it was rubbish or anything like that, but i think you should listen to it first, preferably for a few hours at least.
i was comparing it to a roksac caspian cdp, the cyrus had better punch, impact and treble, vocals sounded great too. the caspian had more bass detail, and i thought the music gelled a bit better, i thought with the primare and focus's though that the treble was too warm sounding. both were better then my kandy cdp.
