Cyrus vs Naim vs Rega

[admin_exported]

I have gradually become less interested in DVD, primarily due to Sky+. Therefore I have decided to sell my Arcam DV79, and buy a dedicated CD player. My current shortlist is the Cyrus CD8x, Naim CD5i (new model) and Rega Apollo, the Cyrus is available for approx £700, due to the new models. My system comprises an A85 with Dynaudio 42s, both are a few years old now. Any suggestions, comments and preferences on the 3 CD players would be welcome. My music collection is varied, Blues, Indie and Electronic being my primary diet.

Regards.

I'd be tempted to go for the new Naim - it will add a dash of excitement to your system and is one of the best sub-£1000 CD players around.

Wait until the Cyrus CD8se comes out and then make your decision
