Naim CD5xs vs Bryston BCD1


Has anyone compared these two? the Naim was just released as a replacement to the CD5x.
I recently heard the old-model CD5x against the Cambridge 840C and it was far ahead, especially in timing and timbres.
Thanks

I am a Naim fan, but considered the Bryston unheard. I am very curious about the 5XS.
Naim works fine with other brands. The old gear was maybe harder to use with other brands due to DIN plugs, even then it was possible and pleasing to use with others. The new Naim gear integrates very well with just about any other gear out there. Have both DIN and RCA options.
