Hello to the Forum Members,
I am at a cross road where I do not know where I will end up. Evidently there are still a couple of old CDX2 CD players still available in Australia. I own a Naim Nait XS2 integrated amplifier. I am thinking of adding a CD5 XS CD player. Though evidently there are still a couple of CDX Mk2 CD players available.
Do I chase down a CDX Mk2 or do I go digital? There is a hard drive which can be paired with a digital Naim player. I am becoming lost with all the part numbers. Evidently the HDD records CDs perfectly without any errors and then one plays this through a digital streamer. If I sound totally confused I am.
I am currently contemplating the purchase of a CD5 XS or a CDX Mk2. Switching the outputs between RCA and Din connections through a Focal headphone DAC and “A” class amplifier or the CD5 XS Nait amplifier through my Celestion SL6Si Speakers which I can not pay to upgrade to be come a decent loud speaker upgrade. Even with its soft bass.
My wife would like me to spend more time with her. Though suffering from PTSD and MDD I do not receive the same enjoyment as Shelley does out of watching NETFLIX.
May I ask the Forum, which way is the best way to go? I still like placing a CD in its draw and pressing play as I sit back in my comfy leather lounge. Or do I grab a bean bag and relax to some Focal headphones and their DAC Amplifier that has just been released?
Then the next question is Open back or closed back headphones?
I wish for the best. Though cannot afford loud speakers to do the job. It will have to be headphones.
Warm regards,
Paul.
