Naim CD5 SI CD Player

The CD5si has numerous improvements and advances over the CD5i – each one aimed at extracting more music and enjoyment from every CD. The CD5si DAC chip has been upgraded to a Burr Brown PCM1793 – a device very closely related to the one used in the NDX high-end streaming player. The CD5si also benefits from a more stable clock, higher voltage power supply rails, a revised analog filter design, and a brand new CD transport and laser optics. As always with Naim, the benefit of each change was confirmed after many hours of listening.

The CD5si retains all of its predecessor’s best features and Naim Audio trademarks: the unique Naim Audio swing-out CD drawer, laser tracking and digital error correction software, discrete analog output electronics, and a die-cast, non-magnetic enclosure construction.
