About the CD5SI
The Naim Audio CD5si is an entry-level CD player engineered for exceptional musical performance, particularly when paired with the NAIT 5si integrated amplifier. It features a stiff extruded aluminium casework for vibration resistance, high-performance drawer and transport mechanism similar to the premium CDX2 model, and discrete digital and analogue power supplies for superior isolation. Upgrades over the predecessor CD5i include a Burr Brown PCM1793 DAC chip, more stable DAC clock, higher voltage power supply rails, revised analogue filter design, and new CD transport and laser optics. It retains Naim trademarks like the unique swing-out CD drawer, laser tracking, digital error correction software, and die-cast non-magnetic enclosure. Production has been discontinued, but after-sales support continues.
