That Naim cd5si is very nice @ $1699. It is unique in that it has a pull out door, tray. Plus a puck you place atop the cd. Got a lot of great reviews as well. It pairs well with the Naim 5si integrated. Another option would be to buy a cd transport, such as the Cyrus cd-t.
CDP under $2K recommendations, please
I am in need of a new CDP. I currently have a TEAC PD-H600 player which, given its age, is OK, but I'd like to update to something newer. On my radar is the Rega Apollo and the Naim CD5 SI. At 67 yoa, I'm no longer chasing the ultimate audio experience, but am looking for a CDP that capture the soul of the music rather than the ultra-detail. Any opinions welcome as well as other options. TIA.
