Naim: Integrated & CDP vs. Creek : Int & CDP


I am considering these two contenders for a bedroom system.
The Naim would be the Nait 5I / CD 51 CDP vs. the Creek classic 5350 integrated/ classic CD50 II CDP. The difference in power between the two integrateds are probably a non issue as I will pair either integrated with
an effecient monitor like a small Proac or the like.
The Naim is rated at 50 WPC vs. the 90 WPC for the Creek.
I hope to enjoy this system in a similar way that I enjoy my reference tube based system. It will be much about emotional connecton here, as I will not be listening loud
and will probably be just chillin in bed most of the time.
I would like having the headphone jack that the stock
Creek 5350 has, but do not want to let it influence which Amp/ CDP combo I prefer.
Other like products in the running:
Arcam
Rotel
Cambridge
The last few issues of the Absolute sound dont help alot
as they have reviewed many of these and say they are all
ground breaking at their price points. I guess theyre all paying up front for their advertising. Thanks in advance for all your previous help and in advance for your future advice.
