do NAIM cdp sound good only with Naim components?

One cant connect normal plugs to Naim amps??

anyone has done it that way?

I have the Nait 5i connected to Naim CDP 5x, but I am not using the Naim stock DIN. It works well enough, but I took some advice from a Naim enthusiast and dealer, and ended up with LFD interconnects, standard RCA style, with a silver solid core. I greatly prefer them to the stock DIN. A bit of heresy perhaps, but works for me; substantially greater air and transparency, no appreciable loss of Naim virtues.

I have been exceptionally happy with my CDX2/XPSII together with a pair of Nuforce Ref SE amps and an Edge pre....

And I mean really happy!
