DVD5 DVD player

Naim has always been synonymous with ground-breaking products and the tradition continues with the DVD5 - our first DVD player. Like numerous Naim source components before, the DVD5 raises the bar - performing with DVD, DVD-Audio and CD media to a level well beyond its competition. The DVD5 establishes a new reference level for DVD video quality combined with truly versatile, upgradeable and standard-setting musical performance.

VIDEO EXCELLENCE

The DVD5 incorporates multiple hi-performance technologies - Faroudja DCDi® de-interlacing for example - and supports DVI for outstanding digital video performance. Multiple analogue video formats are also supported including composite, s-video, YPbPr interlaced, RGB interlaced and YPbPr progressive. For non-macrovision encoded discs RGB progressive and RGBHV are also available to provide the ultimate analogue video performance.

AUDIO EXCELLENCE

Unlike most DVD players the DVD5’s audio CD performance is not simply an afterthought - it outperforms many CD players. To achieve this, the players’s audio decoding board is physically separated from the DVD boards and its video processors and outputs can be put to sleep during CD playback. The CD audio data stream is also re-clocked before entering state-of-the-art 24bit 192kHz digital to analogue convertors - a technique borrowed from the CDS3 CD player. The DVD5 can also replay stereo DVD Audio at maximum sample rate and, with the optional multi-channel upgrade, can replay DVD Audio in 7.1 surround.
