"NEW" CDS1
Posted by: Brucie on 16 July 2003
Dear All,
I just wanted to share my excitment of having just changed my CD3 to a CDS1 (linked to 72/hi/180)
Wow!..as you might expect.
After months of deliberating of whether to go for a CDX or get a CDS1 for the price of a bare CDX, the choice was finally made.
However this was all done without listening to either a CDX or a CDS1!! I had no opportunity to listen to either machines since I live in S.Africa. So this is a prime example of someone using opinions of forum members and having faith in Naim equipment (after all the CDS is still 10 years old but has had a full servcie).
Crazy I know and ultimately I still have not heard a CDX/XPS but I'm very happy with my choice. Whilst the CD3 has given me years of enjoyment, the CDS1 really is in another league. I can see why people say that it gets you out of the digital presentation (compared to my LP12/Ittock/homemadeGeddon/DV20H).
I'm using the grey interconnect and grey burndy but will wait a little longer before I buy the new S-CDPS burndy.
Is it worthwhile using something else other than the standrad grey interconnect?
Next upgrade, besides cables, will be a supercap to replace the hi and then a 52 for the 72. Aro/prefix before the 52 though.
Cheers
Bruce
