Canare 4S11 is not ideal for Naim.  
The all important measure for Naim amps is inductance, not capacitance.  
The Canare 4S11 has appreciably lower inductance than standard  
The series inductance reported in AudioHolics was 0.120uH/ft (0.39uH/Metre)  
5m = 1.95uH which is low, Naim recommend 3.5uH minimum per side, which is where the recommended 3.5m length using the 1uH/m of NACA5 comes from
