CD player CD5si pairs especially well with the complementary NAIT 5si amplifier, setting a stunning new standard in entry-level music reproduction.
Features:
- Sturdy, durable aluminum casing excellently protects against external vibrations.
- Robust tray and transport mechanism, just like in our premium model CDX2, with low resonance and quick disc access.
- Separate digital and analog power sources for superior isolation of critical sound circuits.
Space
Naim provides each critical component with its own environment, free from "toxic" influences and interference, so nothing can compromise the purity of the sound.
Circuitry
Naim engineers minimize any interactions between internal levels, so you can enjoy both the quiet moments and the loudness, just like the original.
Material selection
In Naim's materials, the most important thing is not the appearance, but the excellent characteristics.
Now, in the age when everyone is so enthralled with streaming audio and downloading music, it seems easy to forget about humble compact discs. But Naim has not forgotten. After all, the CD remains the most popular music format in the world, and CD collections make up the heart of priceless music libraries for millions of music lovers. This stunning device, replacing the CD5i, offers owners improved sound reproduction while maintaining the functionality and simplicity of dealing with a classic player. The CD5si was designed to be the best in its class. It combines unique technological innovations, creating perfect listening experiences for the user.
Technology and Craftsmanship
Although the name CD5si is only one letter different from its predecessor, CD5i, behind that letter lies countless fundamental improvements to help "squeeze" the maximum musicality out of any CD. For example, the CD5si uses a Burr Brown PCM1793 chip as the DAC, which is very similar in structure to the chip used in the NDX (High-End class streaming audio player). The CD5si player also features a more stable DAC master clock, higher voltage power supplies, improved analog filter, new CD transport, and optics. Naturally, all these changes were made thanks to our tireless quest for maximum reliability, sound quality, and performance. The undeniable improvement in sound quality after all the innovations was confirmed by many hours of listening.
However, while changes can bring improvements, we should not forget about the old either. Therefore, the CD player CD5si embodies the best of its predecessors released under the Naim label. The signature Naim sliding tray, optical tracking and correction circuits, discrete components of the analog section, and sturdy non-magnetic casing allow the electronic components to extract the maximum music from any compact disc.
