Angeboten wird „CD 555 +PS 555 DR“ von Naim Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2285241830 endet am 25.07.2026 um 06:02 Uhr.
A new CD555 sat in true statement-player territory, so €11,500 is not cheap, but for a clean used example it looks broadly fair rather than ambitious. Based on recent used chatter, the head unit alone tends to live around the low-to-mid €4,000s, with the separate supply often adding another few thousand, so a complete and well-kept package in this range is in the right ballpark.
What makes it worthwhile is simple: the CD555 is one of Naim’s best-disc players, with superb timing, drive, and that effortless, propulsive presentation that still keeps serious CD collections sounding alive. If it’s genuinely good condition and boxed with the right cables, that adds real value; at this level I’d mainly want confirmation of service history, laser health, and that the transport is reading discs quickly and quietly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.
The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.
Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
