I think the 5s differs only by having an upgraded USB chip (which now does 24/96), and an added XLR analog input (to connect another source component, which will go through a A/D and then D/A process within the CDP!).
Thus, if you don't plan on using USB as your digital input, and are not interesting in feeding it a balanced analog source signal, then your current CD5 should perform the same. Neither of those "new" 5s features appeals to me personally, but there may be other changes I'm not aware of.
