Naim cd5i Mark II italic ?

Hello-is there a way to differentiate between the Naim CD5i(mark I) and the Mark II(italic). Dates of production or serial numbers? Are the improvements very significant? Thanks for any help.

I had one for about a month. Then stepped up to CD5x and Flatcap2x. The CD5i (italic) was probably the best CD player I have heard in quite a while. Blew the McIntosh MCD201 away. I loved the Naim sound so much, decided to upgrade quickly while I could still get my money out of the CD5i.
