The amplifier will be noticably better, but the quality of the CD player less so. With the CD player, the biggest difference you're going to hear is the difference in presentation between Arcam and Naim. Overall, i'd go with the Naim system. It'll sound sweeter and more energetic. The X versions will afford you greater flexibility later on, and sound better due to the CD player, but it is a little more expensive.
Well, i didn't want to be specific.......By a little you do mean almost twice don't you now
Naim NAIT5i & CD5i - Your Opinions
I am looking at this Amp and CD combo. Do you feel this a good upgrade from an Arcam CD192 and Audiolab 8000A
Thanks
