General Comments

How do I come to own a CDX. For Naim-o-philes this bit is important.

My first Naim system was a Naim CD 3.5, 72/140, Credos. Over time I planned to beef it up and thought that the amp end especially.

Well here I am today, CDX, 82/140, Credo. Each time I plan to upgrade to a NAP250 I try a new front end and it just gets better and better.

The CDX is stunning in its detail, tempo and precision. But you just have to listen to it - the soundstage, all dimensions - but the most important - the music.

And now - even with the little NAP 140 at the back end - the one component that makes a huge leap in quality is adding the XPS power supply. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT!

The CDX with XPS has to be the best CD player I have ever heard in a domestic setting. It is simply so superior to anything else for the money it is hard to resist buying it.

If you like Music and you like CDs the CDX is the player to buy!
