Smooth and among the best for the dynamics (like all Naims). And I love that sexy revolving door. I would (re)buy one. But the Rotel will be superior (lively too, lots of details and more), one of the best deal these days. (And it is HDCD...)

It shares the CD player mechanism with the $3000 Sony XA7ES, without question the finest CD player, period. Best chip set, best linearity, longest life, easiest to use.
