The CDX2 is probably the most popular player among the Naim faithful. It has the traditional Naim traits - pace, rhythm and timing, but, as part of the new lineup, it also has a very respectable soundstage and sense of depth. The Naim has a realism and musicality not heard in other players. It gives you more of the feeling you get from listening to live music than other brands, It draws you in, holds your interest and makes you want to listen longer... in the room with the musicians . The Naim CDX2 plays music from CD in a wholly natural, believable way, providing the same involvement and enjoyment as a high-end analogue source ( Remember the Good old Linn LP12 turntable ) but with tremendous consistency and reliability. Extensive research has been carried out in designing it. Integrity and stability of the RF signals read by the laser have been prime design considerations. A suspended transport and low mass magnetic clamping system ensures that the disc spins accurately and silently, unhindered by mechanical resonance. The mass of the custom-made reinforced front-loading drawer mechanism has been carefully calculated to optimise rigidity and isolation. The addition of anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet compliment the elegant new cast and extruded anti-magnetic chassis to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and micro-phonic vibration. Additionally, the internal shielding has been improved bringing about further upgraded performance and lower noise. Paths between critical components are as short as possible to preserve delicate signals and each stage of the circuitry is powered by a separate regulated supply. Correct earthing is used throughout and there is no headphone output. Both the transport and chipset have been upgraded for the CDX2. The HDCD decoder/digital filter is only activated when playing encoded discs. Eight-times over sampled data is then sent to two (one per channel) Burr Brown PCM mono D/A converters. A separate, fully optimized master clock controls all main digital functions, and the clock configuration and layout are engineered to minimize jitter. A seven-pole analogue filter follows the DAC to remove spurious noise. The CDX2 has a fully double-regulated power supply with 20 low-noise, regulated power supplies on the main circuit board, plus a separate supply on the servo control board and another on the display board. It is a stand-alone, mains powered machine, which may also be used with the optional XPS ultra low noise external power supply, providing a substantial improvement in sound quality. It comes with original box and packaging materials together with manual, remote, power cord, cd puck and transport locking screws. Packaging
