Naim Cd Players

Checking with Naim-audio.com. The earliest amp was made in 1971. Earliest CD player 1992.
Great website, great products, great support. I would recommend Naim.

I have owned a number of Naim CD players and still do. I currently have a CD5/Flatcap2 in the Series 5 system that we use in our bedroom (Neat Petite speakers) and a CDS2/XPS in the big Naim system that we use in our family room. I sold my second CDS2/XPS that I was using in my reference system and replaced it with the far less expensive and superior Resolution Audio Opus 21.

Both Naim and Resolution Audio offer exceptional service.

how does this compare to other famous ones- Wadia, levinson, meridian, accuphase?

Not in the same league as the players you mentioned above.
For starters, highly recommending Meridian and Marantz.

Have owned a number of high end players over the years and the Naim players especially the current models are very good when compared to other plyers like Meridian. I owned the Marantz 8260 recently and it was not even close to the Naim CD5.
