Overview

Reconnect with your favorite albums through the Naim CD5si CD Player, a dedicated source component designed to make your CD collection rewarding to revisit. Its focused engineering, distinctive disc-loading mechanism, and refined analog circuitry bring musical expression to a traditional stereo system.

At its heart, a Burr-Brown PCM1793 digital-to-analog converter works alongside a precision DAC clock and carefully designed analog filtering. Separate digital and analog power supplies help isolate sensitive circuitry, while discrete analog output electronics deliver the signal to your amplifier.

Naim’s signature manual swing-out CD drawer and magnetic disc puck provide a tactile listening experience. The transport is designed for low-resonance operation, supported by rigid aluminum casework that helps resist external vibration.

With stereo RCA and five-pin DIN outputs, the CD5si connects to compatible integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers. Its slim profile and understated Black finish complement a dedicated hi-fi system, including the matching Naim NAIT 5si amplifier.

Important Notes

An amplifier and speakers are required and sold separately. Use either the DIN or RCA analog connection; Naim advises against connecting both output types simultaneously.

Remove the transport screw before operation and retain it for future shipping. Use the correct CD5si magnetic puck.

Naim currently lists the CD5si as no longer available from the manufacturer. Contact The Grid HiFi to confirm remaining inventory, condition, included accessories, and applicable warranty.
