I'm having the toughest time finding the right cd player for symphonic music.

I've listened to the Primare and the new Naim 5i-2. I liked the Naim better, sounded fuller and realistic. I wanted to see if anyone has heard the Ayer and the Cary?
Also, is there a big disadvantage in Naims non use of Balanced outputs? Or not using two Dacs? Thanks
