the naim cdx2 w/ xps power supply is a fantastic cd player. it's easily one of the best i've ever heard, although i can't comment on how it compares to the original, as i haven't heard it. more so than anything, it's timing and pace are incredible, with a very smooth overall sound.
that having been said, i believe that it is bettered by the resolution audio opus21, which is considerably less (3k as opposed to 5k)
the other nice thing is that you can demo the resolution audio at home and decide for yourself. either way, you'll be really happy.
you also might want to listen to the linn ikemi.
