Was fortunate to audition the CDS3 after servicing at The Real Music Company in Wellington with amplification provided by the $500,000 Naim Statement and Focal Kanta Speakers back to back with the NAIM FLAGSHIP CD555 + XPS555DR power supply and was surprised to find a minor improvement in detail retrieval as the difference between the 2 players so decided it wasn't worth upgrading to the significantly pricier CD555.
PHOTOS TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.
