minime !

A friend of mine have Diapason Adamantes, Audio Note OTO SE and player you mention.
The player is fine, involving, concrete and detailed, it is very nice to listen that system, but on the other side, this is not a sIstem which means listened to all Naim gear.
I have bring my CD5 to the friend and it was clearly better than AVI and that was very audible in just a few seconds. I believe that 3.5 is anytime better than any AVI player, maybe is better to say that these two players are totally different worlds, but in a relaxed typical Hi-Fi sYstem like my friend have, it is very fun listen with AVI.
If you already have other Naim components, than than 3.5 is very welcome.
BTW, 3.5 is better than Genki to me.

Good Luck,
