I currently own a NAD C320BEE integrated amp and a NAD 521i cd player. I have them hooked up to a pair of Wharfedale Pacific Evo 8s. The system is wonderful, but I have heard that I could improve the sound by upgrading my cd player. I was looking at either the 521BEE (the new version of my 521i) or the 541i. Is the upgrade worth it? I listen mostly to jazz and classical music.

Thx.

I stopped at Tower Records this afternoon and browsed the classical section, or at least what is left of it! (Used to be half of the room - now just three rows. Ugh!) Anyway, there was a substantial section devoted to Naxos CDs. All were priced at just 8.99, which is also the price most everywhere online. Very reasonable. I picked up the new John Rutter "Mass of the Children" release. Haven't spun it yet, but I was just wondering what everybody's opinion is regarding Naxos releases in general. Are they done well performance wise and sonically? 8.99 seems too good to be true.
