Naim CD5si CD player
Naim Audio CD5si CD player.
The Naim CD5si is now the only CD player in the Naim range. It still offers excellent performance. The player is a front loader with manual pull out tray. This removes the usual clunk CD drawer which are often prone to breaking down. It is smooth and easy to use and really makes the player stand out from the crowd. This drawer contains the transport and provides it with mechanical isolation. As usual for s Naim player the transport is a Philips unit. The disc clamps in place with a small magnetic puck.
Inside the CD5si there is a substantial linear power supply including a large toroidal transformer. This feeds the Digital and analogue sections individually with clean power. The DAC is fed with a low Jitter clock to minimise distortion and the output filter is carefully designed to minimise phase distortion. This results in the Naim players having excellent transient performance. They are known for being dynamic and exciting to listen to just like live music.
The CD5si is simple to use with just 4 buttons on the front. The remote handset controls all other functions. Connection to your amplifier is by DIN or RCA on the rear panel. For best performance in a Naim system we always recommend using the DIN connection.
