上CD5X比上CDX2节省约2万元，可以添置器材架，改进电源，买更多好片。
对于CDX2和CD5X的选择，转贴荷兰的Kingsley的话，很有意思。
Dear Naim,
I will come in again and say that our 102/180, the precursor to your amps, with a napsc and a flatcap2 on the preamp and the CD5X, all make very beautiful music together, and I think
you would be very very pleased to have the 5X in your sweet room.
Actually it looks to me like a very nice room, about the same size as ours here in Holland, not so big, but very much OK.
I really don't think I'll be upgrading again, and I'm deeply happy with that. For you in Shanghai a CDX2 must be incredibly expensive, and, with the so-called law of diminishing returns, I cannot imagine you would be very much happier with a CDP costing twice as much. Some of the other lads on this forum are putting lots of money into their systems, but with Naim gear it isn't necessary to have the absolute best.
I was delighted when we unexpectedly heard the 5X, after our 3.5, and it will keep us in musical thrills for many years!!Buy the 5X, already a wonderful player, with perhaps a Flatcap2 to power your preamp as well as the 5X, and you will hear heavenly music. And then don't let yourself get frustrated by all the talk of a better player, not unless you enjoy the sport of it all, of course! If it's just about music you should be very happy. Life is expensive enough...
还有法国的Edouard的建议：
Naim,
I think you'll be very happy with HC-CD5x/202/200, with no doubt it's a truly very musical sytem.
As maybe 3 years later you'll be able to move the HC toward the 202 if eventually you decide to swap the CD5x for...CDX3 or even CDS4！
CD5X，足够好了。
