CDX vs CDI/2

Posted by: redeye on 09 November 2001

I currently own a 3.5 (God bless the little bastard) cd player. Am increasingly getting the hump with it. Could just race out and order a CDX but have heard that earlier incarnations like CDI & CD2 tend to make the 'X' sound staid by comparison. Have Naim tried to civilise the earlier players by smooothing them out? I definitely prefer the drama! Any thoughts? Rest is Fcap on cd,92R,180 and Royd Minstrels (shortly to be replaced by PMC Fb1)

My current system is quite similar to yours: CD3/92R/Flatcap/NAP250/B&W 805V. I love these little series 3 bastards. Civilized sound = No but good rhythm = YES. Why do you want to go for a CDX?
