Angeboten wird „CD 5 Si“ 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 8311897806 endet am 23.07.2026 um 13:44 Uhr.
This one is a late-era used CD player, so timing matters mainly because age and laser wear are the real variables now. At €990, it’s well above your recent-comps median of €595 and also above the €793 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious asking price rather than a fair-market buy.
That said, the CD5 is a respected Naim transport: lively, rhythmically convincing, and still a pleasure if you value the brand’s pace and drive over sterile detail. If it’s genuinely good condition, with original remote, packaging, and proof of service, the upside is solid. Just make sure the drawer, display, and disc reading are flawless, because at this level you want a pristine, fully sorted example.
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.
