Naim CD5xs vs Bryston BCD1


Has anyone compared these two? the Naim was just released as a replacement to the CD5x.
I recently heard the old-model CD5x against the Cambridge 840C and it was far ahead, especially in timing and timbres.

The Naim factory has informed me the CD5xs is a significant step up on the CD5x, and with the external power supply it will be at the same level as the CDx2 (there is a CDx2s coming out soon)
In my area the Ayre is quite a bit more expensive than the Naim and out of my range. ARC is not available here.

I have a Simaudio I3RS amplifier, I wonder how the Naim would go with it...

The other option is the Simaudio CD3.3 but I can't compare at one dealer.
