I have only ever listened to a nait2, never a nait 5. The UK alternative Naim forum is at www.pinkfishmedia.net/frameset.htm. Post there and you'll get many responses.
You could try Densen, only available in the US at www.audiooutlet.com in NY. They have displaced many Naim setups in the UK and offer naim like rhythm, but with better transparency and soundstaging. I own a B100 and it's a nice amp. They also have fantastic build quality and customer service, similarly to Naim.
Many on pinkfishmedia like the Rega stuff as well, though I have never heard it so I can't comment.
