After all, the CD is still by far the world's most popular music format and for millions of music enthusiasts.

Power Supply
The Naim CD5si has discrete digital and analogue power supplies for superior isolation of sound critical electronics - giving you the lowest possibly noise-floor.
Technological Advances
CD5si builds on the features of its predecessor by incorporating new technological advances to enhance the listening experience. Upgrades include an improved digital-to-analogue converter chip, a more stable DAC clock, higher voltage power supply rails, a redesigned analogue filter, CD transport and laser optics. These changes aim to produce exceptional sound quality while maintaining engineering reliability.
Technology & Craft
The CD5si name may only differ from its CD5i predecessor by one character, but under the skin there's numerous fundamental improvements and advances - each one aimed at extracting more music and enjoyment from every CD. To begin with, the CD5si digital to analogue converter chip has been upgraded to a Burr Brown PCM1793 - a device very closely related to the one used in the NDX high-end streaming player. The CD5si also benefits from a more stable DAC clock, higher voltage power supply rails, a revised analogue filter design and a brand new CD transport and laser optics.
Sticking To Their Guns
Just as change can bring improvement, there's often nothing wrong with sticking to your guns, so the CD5si retains all of its predecessor’s best features and Naim Audio trademarks. The unique Naim Audio swing-out CD drawer, laser tracking and digital error correction software, discrete analogue output electronics, and a die-cast, non-magnetic enclosure construction that helps ensure the electronics within can extract the most music possible from every CD.
