Founded by Julian Vereker MBE (1945 - 2000), his original inspiration continues to motivate Naim, its people and its designs.

The CD5i CD player, especially when partnered by the complementary NAIT 5i integrated amplifier, sets a thrilling new standard for the musical performance of entry-level hi-fi. This machine is designed to be the best in its class. Spec

The CD5 XS uses every possible development from earlier and more costly Naim CD players to help establish it as the reference entry-level CD player. The Naim CD5 XS extends the Naim qualities of natural musical reproduction, flexibility and reliability to fall within the reach of even more music lovers. Spec

The CD5 XS can be upgraded through the addition of an external Flatcap XS or Hi-Cap Power Supply. The external supply works with internal power supply of the CD5 XS to offer both a greater number of separate supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation. Spec

The CD5x can be upgraded through the addition of an external Flatcap 2x or Hi-Cap Power Supply. The external supply works with internal power supply of the CD5x to offer both a greater number of separate supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation. Spec

Extensive research carried out over the last few years has been fully employed in producing the integrated CDX2 CD player. Naim has made as few compromises as possible to ensure that the CDX2 offers complete musical satisfaction, rivalling that of the finest analogue turntables. Spec

The CDX2 can be upgraded by the addition of a XPS or CD 555PS Power Supply. The external supply takes over from the internal power supply of the CDX2 and offers both a greater number of separate supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation. Spec

The CDX2 can be upgraded by the addition of a CD 555PS or XPS Power Supply. The external supply takes over from the internal power supply of the CDX2 and offers both a greater number of separate supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation.

The CDS3 has 26 low-noise, regulated power supplies on the main circuit board, 14 on the analogue output board and 4 on the servo board. Power for the whole machine is provided by the XPS power supply, which has 6 separately regulated, very low-noise outputs. Thus all critical circuitry is triple regulated. Spec

The CDS3 can be upgraded by the addition of a CD 555PS Power Supply in place of the XPS Power Supply. Features include 7 regulated power supplies including one for the clock circuitry. The transformer is 40 per cent large than that in the XPS2.

The CD555 makes no attempt to play DVDs, DVD-As or SACDs. It doesn't have a digital output. Nor does it have a variable output. The CD555 simply plays CDs and at that it excels. Naim are confident that is the best CD player ever. Spec

Key features of this fabulous player include a separate power supply from a transformer secondary winding, which is triple regulated, right through to the critical master clock and dejittering circuitry.
