Naim Audio CDS3

The CDS3 sets an impressive quality standard for high-end compact disc playback. All the features of a Naim CD player are brought together in the CDS3 with a host of innovative engineering solutions pioneered during the development of the flagship CDS 552 and NAP 500 amplifiers. Combined with the elegant style, the result is stunning musical performance that is deeply satisfying.

The CDS3 is near the top of Naim’s CD hierarchy, allowing one to purchase a CDX2, upgrade by adding an XPS, and then trade up to a CDS3 with the XPS. The highly sophisticated power supply features a toroidal transformer and six voltage regulators, ensuring perfect stability for the ultra-sensitive circuitry. The Naim CDS3 truly offers enriching musical reproduction, delivering the engagement of the best analog sources combined with extraordinary consistency and reliability.
