Fair points. The reason the Cambridge attracted my attention was that it's a two box set up, thereby making the input side of things easy to change as technology moves forward.
However I do appreciate the combined wisdom of the replys being firmly in favour of Naim.
Quality of the product is very important.

One thing I would be wary of is commingling technologies. I know you want an all in one. But with the rapidly changing world of digital streaming media, you may not want to hedge your bet to heavily on one unit. It may not be the best thing to have your stereo bundled with something else. Kind of like having that all in one TV/VCR/DVD.
Buy a stereo and look into perhaps the Marantz NA7004.

Charles I think that's a valid point. I've never been a fan of all in ones as such, and things are developing so fast that redundancy looms large, just like the world of computers.
Naim make a Naim Nait SuperNait 2 Integrated Amplifier which I believe is a very nice amp.
So the question is what front end? Will have a look at the Marantz, and any other alternative suggestions?
I found the Naim integrated amp to be very nice, easy to use as well.
Keep us posted.
I really enjoy the NAIM cd players. Very musical, easy on your ears listening. Until I can demo the more upper high-end spinners, this is my fave player for now. These guys build great gear. No games, no gimmicks. The way I like it...
I think the 'you have to use our speaker wire or our amplifiers aren't stable' (and yes, that's exactly what they've told me) is a raging gimmick.
If their speaker wire didn't suck so much it wouldn't matter that much, but it's stiff as garden hose.
