Btw, Joerand, I have owned all of those components and an Apollo along with CDX2 and a CDS3 at various points. My faves (taking into consideration price) are the Nait 3R with a Flatcap and the CD5 with a Flatcap. Nait 5i coming up close second to the 3R.
I really liked the Apollo but I thought tone was more authentic with Naim cd players. Apollo tone seemed slightly glossy or smoothed over. I am being highly critical here...i loved it and i am thinking about an Apollo-R also.
