I did compare the Bryston to the Naim cd-5iV2.
They are both good players.
The Bryston was excellent on SOME cd's.
I thought the NAIM was better on more cd's,
especially older recorded discs.
I have had quite a few players in the $1500-$4000
range. This is the most underrated player around.
I think the 5i V2 is a steal for the money.
I think if I had to describe it in one word.....
.......FUN! That it what some of the ultra detail players
are missing......and I was surprised at the detail.
I question if spending more money on another cd player
would be worth it. What about a better power cable,
cable from the Naim to amp, etc.
