Instead, NAD has developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, this new Hybrid Digital Amplifier design is very linear over a wide bandwidth and provides consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a dramatic advancement over previous Class AB and Class D amplifier designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomised Hypex UcD Output Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe NAD C328 uses a customised version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been carefully crafted and perfectly executed to deliver best performance possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient Power Supply: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe power supply of the C328 is able to provide over 100 Watts of audio output when needed. The C328 provides pure DC power to all of its various stages. This extremely efficient power supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Disclosure Power (FDP):\u003c\/strong\u003e NAD uses Full Disclosure Power (FDP), the most demanding criterion for performance measurement. FDP specifies distortion under the most extreme conditions of low impedance loads and frequency extremes, rather than the simple and easy 1kHz @ 8 Ohms test quoted by many of other manufactures. NAD uses this stricter performance criterion because it more closely matches the demands of real music and real loudspeakers. Maintaining specified distortion at 4\/8 Ohms and at 20-20kHz is a much more difficult achievement. The benefit of NAD's Full Disclosure Power is the total elimination of audible distortion at any listening level. This provides pinpoint imaging and realism with music and movies alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Headphone Amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e The NAD C 328 incorporates a discrete headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability, enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. Connecting a set of headphone to the C328's front-panel jack will mute the speaker outputs. Volume, tone, and balance controls still operate during headphone listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Post Speaker Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e The speaker output terminals consist of four binding posts to connect a single pair of loudspeakers. The amplifier supports 4 Ohm to 8 Ohm speakers. These binding post terminals will accept heavy duty bare wire and banana plugs which is a far better choice. You'll need to remove the plastic inserts within the binding-post terminals to connect banana plugs.

It offers ideal input impedance attributes with linear, ultra-low noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by improper loading of the source device. The C328 also features a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability, enough in fact to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. The low impedance line outputs can also connect to a subwoofer to further extend the versatility of the C328.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNAD C328 Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"NAD calls its new integrated amplifier a \"Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier,\" a moniker that hints at its digital prowess. The C 328 can handle a wide range of digital sources and, indeed, features a topology that keeps signals in the digital domain until the switching output stage. Although the amp is rated at 50Wpc, Paul Seydor found that the C 328 wasn't lacking for power in real-world situations. The C 328 acquits itself excellently in nuance and resolution. With rock and driving jazz it displays a lot of punch, kick, drive, and swing. Subjectively, noise and distortion are extremely low, the presentation notable for its clarity and articulation without appearing in the least analytical.

Yes, it is simple to use and that's because it was designed that way and particularly for the younger generation who just want a great sounding amplifier that can accept both digital and analogue inputs. This  includes a dedicated, exceptional quality phono input for your turntable. The amp is small enough to fit on your desk yet powerful enough to drive real speakers. Sounds like a home run from NAD. Take one home today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original NAD 3020 introduced a generation of Music Lovers to true high fidelity sound. The term High Fidelity literally means \"true to the original\". In the '70s over a million people rediscovered their music when they placed a NAD 3020 between their turntable and loudspeakers. This little gem embarrassed amplifiers costing 10 times more with its big, warm, detailed sound. Once people realised what they had been missing it lead them to a lifetime of enhanced musical enjoyment. Today, the source is more likely to be a computer or smartphone than a turntable, but the ability to choose speakers that perfectly suit one's taste is still a compelling argument for upgrading to a NAD amplifier. The D 3020 V2 starts with the original NAD 3020 concept and takes it straight to the 21st century using the latest high-speed digital technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReinventing An Icon:\u003c\/strong\u003e By adapting to today's media sources and using state-of-the-art digital technology for the new world of digital music, the D 3020 V2 puts a completely modern spin on an old icon. The original designer of the 3020, NAD's Director of Advanced Technology, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, has been pivotal in developing the D 3020 V2 for the new digital generation. Offering an excellent quality 24\/192 DAC with 8 channels mixed to 2 for improved resolution, the D 3020 V2 represents the same kind of value-bending innovation that gave the original 3020 its legendary overachieving phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal World Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e NAD rewrote the rules for amplifiers when designing the original 3020. Instead of letting laboratory test equipment have the last word, NAD made sure that it could properly drive real loudspeakers with real music for the real world. The D 3020 V2 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive™ developed by Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, that allows low impedance drive (current) and high dynamic power (voltage) at vanishingly low distortion levels. This refinement of PowerDrive combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 V2 sound even more powerful than it already is. An innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Connected:\u003c\/strong\u003e The D3020 offers inputs for your computer and other digital and analogue sources. Coaxial and optical inputs allow many different digital sources to be connected, from CD and DVD players, to set top boxes, media streamers like Apple TV, or satellite and cable receivers. There are also analogue inputs including a sophisticated MM Phono input. Far from just another set of sockets, this Phono stage includes highly accurate RIAA equalization, an Infrasonic Warp Filter, and features both high overload margins and extremely low noise. With V2 NAD have also added a PreOut for increased connectivity in the output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStream With Bluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e The D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth capability. Stream all your music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The D 3020 V2 even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth aptX that is becoming ever more popular for its excellent sound quality and low power consumption compared to Wi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower That Really Delivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power output may sound small at 30 Watts per channel, but like all NAD amplifiers this is very misleading, as a properly designed 30 Watt amplifier can sound superior to many a 100 Watt amplifier from a lesser brand. With its very small form factor, the D 3020 V2 will astound many with its ability to drive difficult loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMean And Green:\u003c\/strong\u003e The D 3020 V2's highly efficient design wastes less energy, requiring only 20% of the power needed by traditional Hi-Fi amplifiers. It's like trading in a gas guzzling car for a hybrid vehicle. Standby power consumption is a miniscule \u0026lt;0.5 Watts. NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption. NAD's major focus is to find new technology that improves musical performance while consuming less power and using fewer non-renewable resources in manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNAD D3020 V2 Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Truly a design for our times, the D 3020 is improbably small and portable and loaded. This 30Wpc integrated offers a 96kHz\/24-bit USB input and aptX Bluetooth music-streaming. With a smooth top end, its speed and openness can be truly enthralling.

If you think 30 Watts doesn't sound like much power, don't be fooled. Highly efficient, this little amp is perfect for powering a pair of efficient bookshelf speakers while delivering warm, detailed sound from digital and analogue sources. The compact and streamlined D 3020 V2 can stand on its side for placement on a desktop or shelf or you can lay it down flat.

The result is a turntable that easily outperforms many others at twice the modest asking price of the C558. The secret to a good sounding turntable is to make a rock solid mechanical connection between the platter and the cartridge\/stylus.

But that's the NAD tradition. Now the brand has an enviable reputation for creating some of the best performing budget - and non-budget - amplifiers of all time. The lineage is impressive, all the way from the 3020 of 1978 to the current C368 that concentrates on delivering the right balance of performance with a host of 21st century features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAD C368 hybrid digital integrated stereo amplifier packs a lot more punch than you might expect from its so-called 80-Watt-per-channel power rating. That's because the power rating is both conservative and based on a continuous basis, not a short FTC rating as used by mass market brands. It's advanced technology also contributes to a dynamic and lively performance. NAD has moved away from the old-fashioned and power-hungry linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that actually waste nearly half of the energy consumed producing heat rather than sound. Instead, they have developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work over the last decade and as featured in their Master Series has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads and are now trickling down to the classic series so definitely a step forward for NAD. A good comparison is the advances in traditional fossil fuels compared with renewable energy which have made amazing advances in recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is capable of 200 Watts continuously and over 600 Watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages. The C368 uses a customised version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly unmeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this amplifier has been carefully designed and perfectly executed to wring out every last drop of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnected \u0026amp; Smart:\u003c\/strong\u003e The NAD C368 integrated amplifier lets you connect both digital and analogue music sources.

NAD's remote app gives you convenient control over your system from your compatible phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C338 offers three line-level inputs but with all the digital connectivity this will be adequate for most consumers. These offer ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by inappropriate loading of the source device. Surprisingly the C338 has a dedicated phono stage - of which NAD are famous - which allows you to enjoy vinyl to any level you wish. Also included is a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability – enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. Low impedance line outputs that can connect to subwoofers extend the versatility of this well thought out amplifier.

And the C368 is no exception. Here sre some comments from The Absolute Sound in the USA: \"I quickly realized rather than building another \"me-too\" integrated amp NAD had deliberately focused on other areas of performance—useful areas that most integrated amplifiers ignore. That's smart. DAC technology is advancing rapidly, so buying an external DAC avoids locking you in at a particular level that will probably be outdated this time next year...The C 368, with its MDC BluOS expansion card, already does that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll those features would be moot if the C 368 sounded lousy, but it sounds delightful—lots of power, deep, punchy bass, smooth midrange and highs. It showed none of the solid-state anomalies that have historically made transistors in general and Class D in particular sound unpleasant. Easy to set up, easy to use, extremely flexible when used with Bluesound gear, this could be the last hi-fi purchase you'll need to make. I was impressed, which seldom happens. Strongly recommended.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"NAD's C 368 is a great-sounding and forward-looking integrated that will satisfy now and well into the future. The 80Wpc C 368 (240Wpc IHF dynamic power into 4 ohms) incorporates not just a DAC, but a full suite of interchangeable modules thanks to NAD's Modular Design Construction. The C 368 sounds more powerful than its rating, capturing music's continuously changing dynamic level with noteworthy precision and exhibiting a dynamic exuberance typical of NAD equipment.\" \u003cstrong\u003eThe Absolute Sound Editors' Choice Awards 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Take On NAD C368 Stereo Amplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAD C368 offers superior performance with all the latest 21st century features and when considering what it can do, comes in a very reasonably priced package and for many there will never be a need for another amplifier. It is surprising how many seemingly advanced products in the market today often miss many of the most basic requirements for satisfying performance. Low noise circuits, precise volume control action, accurate channel balance, proper input and output impedance characteristics, high overload margins and stability with difficult speaker loads. NAD starts by getting these things precisely right and advances from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'C368 certainly ties together all the critical elements of a top performing music system; music sources past and present, while providing a deep reservoir of power that allows your speakers to reveal every nuance of musical detail. In fact the 80 Watt series of amps from NAD have over the last 30 years been the best sellers and we see this continuing with the NAD C368. This advanced amplifier includes many cutting-edge technological breakthroughs developed by NAD over decades of creating affordable ultra-high performance audio components. Yes, you can add a NAD CD player or Turntable and some good interconnecting cables, the right speakers and you're in business to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of great music. But, with Bluesound now coming on-board (no pun intended) and surround sound losing some of its prominence, the C368 will provide a number of meaningful options via the MDC system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"main-features\"\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Stereo Amplifier with built-in DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Output: 80 x 2 Watts Continuous Power into 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms (at rated 0.009% THD, 20-20kHz, both channels driven)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-To-Noise Ratio: 92dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 10Hz - 65kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth: Equipped with Bluetooth ADP4 with aptX supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC: 24-bit\/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter for high-performance playback of digitally connected sources such as a CD player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDC: 2 x MDC (Modular Design Construction) slots for adding additional capabilities and features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Terminals: Heavy Duty Speaker Wire Binding Posts - Accepts 'banana' plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Pair Of Speakers: Connect both A \u0026amp; B speakers or bi-amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Controls: Via app control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Digital Inputs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial Digital Inputs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine-Level Inputs: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated Phono Input: Suits MM (Moving Magnet) type cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-Amp Outputs: Add a power amplifier or dual subwoofers which can make up a great 2.1 or even 2.2 system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone Amp: Independent built-in high-output headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone Socket: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubwoofer Output: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote Control: System remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree App: NAD control app for iOS and Android lets you use your compatible mobile device as a remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Cord: Detachable IEC power cord which can be easily upgraded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS-232C Port: For use with external controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR In\/Out And 12-Volt Triggers: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand-By Consumption: 0.5 Watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 435 x 95 x 390mm - plus allow 100mm for cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNett Weight: 7.8kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2-Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Features \u0026amp; Specifications Subject To Change Without Notice.

As NAD have demonstrated from day one, you can take it that it is both conservative and based on a continuous basis, not a short FTC rating as used by many mass market brands. The '388 is the real deal when it comes to power output and it's advanced technology also contributes to a dynamic and lively performance. NAD has moved away from the old-fashioned and power-hungry linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that actually waste nearly half of the energy consumed producing heat rather than sound. Instead, they have developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work over the last decade and as featured in their Master Series has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads and are now trickling down to the classic series so definitely a step forward for NAD. A good comparison is the advances in traditional fossil fuels compared with renewable energy which have made amazing advances in recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is capable of 400 Watts continuously and over 1000 Watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages. The C388 uses a customised version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly unmeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this amplifier has been carefully designed and perfectly executed to wring out every last drop of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnected And Smart:\u003c\/strong\u003e The NAD C388 integrated amplifier lets you connect both digital and analogue music sources. You can also stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device, and even stream audio from connected sources to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. NAD's remote app gives you convenient control over your system from your compatible phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C388 offers three line-level inputs but with all the digital connectivity this will be adequate for most consumers. These offer ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by inappropriate loading of the source device. Surprisingly the C388 has a dedicated phono stage - of which NAD are famous - which allows you to enjoy vinyl to any level you wish. Also included is a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability – enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. Low impedance line outputs that can connect to subwoofers extend the versatility of this well thought out amplifier.

This amplifier benefits from all the qualities of the most powerful models: impeccable timing, smooth and well-articulated lows, judiciously distributed mids for a deep and realistic sound stage, and highs which are perfectly integrated into the other two registers. In our opinion, this model is a perfect candidate for driving the most demanding Focal speakers, as well as for flattering the compression chambers of tweeters and other titanium dome models which may sometimes seem a bit turbulent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAD has an enviable reputation for creating some of the best performing budget amplifiers of all time.

To begin with, the NAD C388 is really the bigger brother to the NAD C368 which is also an awesome amp if you don't need to rock your neighbours house. The main difference is nearly double the power output - 80-Watts to 150-Watts which is really useful if you have inefficient speakers. Like the C368, it offers superior performance with all the latest 21st century features and when considering what it can do and the power output, comes in at a reasonable price package and for many they will never need another amplifier until it dies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is surprising how many seemingly advanced products in the market today often miss many of the most basic requirements for satisfying performance. Low noise circuits, precise volume control action, accurate channel balance, proper input and output impedance characteristics, high overload margins and stability with difficult speaker loads. NAD starts by getting these things precisely right and advances from there. The 'C388 certainly ties together all the critical elements of a top performing music system; music sources past and present, while providing a deep reservoir of power that allows even very inefficient speakers to reveal every nuance of musical detail. This advanced amplifier includes many cutting-edge technological breakthroughs developed by NAD over decades of creating affordable ultra-high performance audio components. Yes, you can add a NAD CD player or Turntable and some good interconnecting cables, the right speakers and you're in business to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of great music.

This allows smooth operation and a minimum of tracking errors. Heavy gauge steel and non-resonant plastic mouldings are carefully engineered to provide optimum results. The transport is mounted on reinforced steel rails and over 30 fasteners are used to lock the assembly together and maintain precise dimensional integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecise clocking of the digital data stream allows the Wolfson 24 bit DAC to provide accurate linearity for the PCM data conversion to analogue waveform. Audio OP Amps buffer the output without adding noise or distortion to the music. Multi-layer PCBs using surface mount components allow for an enhanced circuit layout with very short signal paths. Powering these elements is a custom designed active power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages to the transport, digital circuits, analogue circuits, and the control and display circuits. The result of this careful engineering is a sound that is at once both detailed and natural, with dramatic dynamic contrasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAD C 538 includes many desirable features that enhance listening pleasure. Front panel controls are duplicated on the hand held remote allowing Play, Pause, Skip, and Scan functions.

The dimmable dot matrix display shows tracks, total playing time. Track time, disc time, and remaining time are all available. The C 538 also can play CD-R\/CD-RW discs allowing you to burn songs from your computer for playback on your CD Playing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these songs are encoded in MP3 or WMA format, you can fit up to 10 hours of music on a single disc which is great for busting out the party mixes or relaxing with some ambient listening.

It is a DAC, Music Streamer and stereo Preamplifier all rolled into one neat package. Yes, it is part of NAD's Classic Series of components which have an enviable reputation for giving music lovers more enjoyment for less money. If you want a solid block of hand–crafted aluminium with gold plated accents you'll need to look elsewhere. If you want state-of-the-art award-winning performance and features in a sturdy no-nonsense package then you have the right address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's face it, the way we enjoy music continues to move away from just physical media aka LPs and CDs and to what we call music streaming. And the NAD C658 is no ordinary music streamer, but absolutely a high-resolution network music streamer and from input to output. It features the ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC, one of the best performing DACs on the market today with its 118dB Dynamic Range and incredibly low jitter spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's Also A Pre-amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e You've probably got a variety of other components that you want to use and the C658 has plenty of inputs including a dedicated phono stage. All preamp functions are executed in the digital domain including the same wide range non-truncating digital volume control used in the other NAD Masters Series components. This offers an incredibly short analogue signal path that, rather uniquely, is identical for all volume settings. Sophisticated active power supplies provide super clean voltages to all circuits to keep noise and distortion at the edge of measurability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 has incorporated these fundamental truths to create an entirely new type of component that combines a Network Streamer, a state-of-the art DAC, and many aspects of the traditional Preamplifier into a single highly cost effective package. And thanks to NAD's exclusive Modular Design Construction, it will keep pace with the latest technology, not yet introduced, but inevitably coming in the future. In fact, an optional HDMI 4k switcher module is available now allowing the best sound from any of the many HDMI sources available (like game consoles and video Set Top Boxes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the NAD C 658 immediately replaces (or adds) your Streamer, DAC, and Preamp, it also adds many new features you may not be aware of, like a Bluetooth aptX HD transmitter to use with your wireless headphones. The highly flexible outputs allow for a true balanced connection to powered speakers or amplifiers. Single-ended connections for amplifiers and subwoofers are also provided and include an adjustable subwoofer crossover executed perfectly in the digital domain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth aptX HD:\u003c\/strong\u003e The NAD C 658 features two-way wireless Bluetooth capability that is powered by aptX HD for the highest possible sound quality available. aptX HD supports 48kHz\/24-bit LPCM audio over a Bluetooth wireless connection for a \"better-than-CD\" listening experience. The C 658 can act as a Bluetooth Receiver or Bluetooth Transmitter (but not both at the same time). The Bluetooth Receiver and Transmitter modes are only accessible via the BluOS App. You can pair multiple devices with the BluOS Streaming DAC, but only one device can be connected and used at a time (the BluOS Controller app must be used for pairing). The NAD C 658 has a Bluetooth wireless range of approximately 10 meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluOS Enabled:\u003c\/strong\u003e Also on board is BluOS, the most sophisticated high res streaming system available.

Bluesound also supports compressed music files such as MP3, AAC, WMA and OGG. Bluesound has been designed to work with today's larger music collections, and has indexed libraries up to 200,000 songs in demonstrated practice (this will depend on the music's metadata \u0026amp; artwork).

As a flagship AVR, one expects it to top the less-expensive models in its line, and given the dynamics, I heard from both music and movies, it most certainly does. With a completely silent noise floor and amazing responsiveness, every burst of sound, whether it was massed strings or violent explosions, came across with tactility and detail. Textures were rich and varied and I never strained to hear the finest nuances. There is no fatigue here, not even with low-quality content. You can listen to this receiver for hours and easily lose track of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI really enjoyed the inclusion of Dirac Live which made the T 778 a perfect fit for my room. Its frequency and phase correction created a perfect balance on the first attempt. And with BluOS, I could sit for hours and surf internet radio stations or content from multiple providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen investing $5000 in an AVR, one is inevitably concerned with future technologies. Thanks to NAD's Modular Design Construction, there is no worry. New HDMI version? Swap out the card. It's a good bet you won't need to replace the T 778 for many years. Since its core hybrid digital amp technology is so strong, it's extremely unlikely that something better sounding will come along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T 778 is an AVR for the long haul.

Obviously this has been built-up over many years and can be clearly seen and heard in their latest surround sound wonder. This latest V3i version of the popular NAD T 758 includes Apple Airplay 2 for the first time, which will be great news for Apple fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you'd expect, the NAD T 758 V3i supports all popular surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos, DTS HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio that are decoded using the latest generation of high-speed DSP. Stereo source material can be converted to surround sound using exclusive NAD \"EARS\" surround mode, praised by reviewers for its natural sound quality. With both music and movies, the T 758's award-winning heritage reveals its power with immense depth, clarity, and incredible detail. Ordinary AV receivers simply sound flat in comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe NAD Audio Difference:\u003c\/strong\u003e However, where NAD really shine is with audio. If you now realise that there is a difference and how your choice can affect both your music and by extension your speakers, then you would do well to examine NAD very closely. Whether it be stereo music or a movie soundtrack, hear how good they can sound via this virtual powerhouse. It is conservatively rated at 110 Watts per channel in stereo mode, but sounds like a lot more, punching out deep bass and superb stereo image for an AV Receiver. Now you may well think this is just a bit of sales hype, but not all manufacturers are just making boxes to keep the factory working. Right from the top at NAD there is a culture of music first, something that has been the philosophy from day one in the 1970s. So, what's the difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Disclosure Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e NAD uses Full Disclosure Power (FDP) on all their Hi-Fi amplifiers, the most demanding criterion for performance measurement. FDP specifies distortion under the most extreme conditions of low impedance loads and frequency extremes, rather than the simple and easy 1kHz @ 8 Ohms test quoted by some other manufactures, NAD uses this stricter performance criterion because it more closely matches the demands of real music and real loudspeakers. Maintaining specified distortion at 4\/8 Ohms and at 20-20kHz is a much more difficult achievement. The benefit of NAD's Full Disclosure Power is the total elimination of audible distortion at any listening level. This provides pinpoint imaging and realism with music and movies alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep It Simple No Frills Approach:\u003c\/strong\u003e While other AV receivers may offer more features, NAD focus the T 758 V3i on one mission: audio performance. So as you can see from earlier comments, the T 758 V3i AV Receiver is designed to deliver the very best sound and of course picture and from all your audio and video sources. It does this by eliminating signal-degrading and space-eating processing and seldom-used features which has definite appeal to some. So, this is the music lover's AV Receiver and is backed by decades of audiophile expertise thus delivering music and movie soundtracks with clarity and detail that will lift the \"veil\" off your speakers and reveal their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSecond Zone Living\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith seven channels to play with, NAD has made the \"surround back\" channels reassignable. So if you are content with just five speakers and a subwoofer in your main home theatre room, then you can use the \"surround back\" channels to power two additional speakers in a second room. Or if you'd like to get better performance from your front speakers, you can use these extra channels to bi-amp your front main speakers - if they have this provision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovie And Music Presets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Movies and Music have differing prerequisites. The T 758 V3i makes it easy to switch between a CD and a Blu-ray disc without having to reconfigure all your settings. How does it do this? NAD has created a simple user interface that is incredibly flexible but very easy to use. Each source component has its own customised setup that is memorized and recalled every time it is selected for viewing. In addition, 5 powerful AV Presets allow custom setups for different types of program material that can specify speaker settings and surround modes to your exact taste. Inputs can even be renamed to match your particular components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNAD App:\u003c\/strong\u003e A beautiful and intuitive user experience offering a fun and simple way to control and configure your NAD AV Receiver.

Instead, the company has developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work in this area has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a dramatic advance over previous models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generously dimensioned power supply easily allows for 340 watts continuous into 4 ohms and over 570 watts instantaneous power for short term musical transients.

This return to first principles has resulted in a stunningly simple approach to some remarkably complex problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eigentakt modules are manufactured by NAD under license from Purifi, allowing NAD to optimize these specifically in combination with the custom designed power supply and input stages of the C 298.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 298 may appear to be just a basic power amp but NAD engineers have carefully thought through all the aspects to create feature rich content. Selectable balanced inputs make the C 298 a natural for studio use or connection to high-end preamps and processors. These inputs include a trim control, which is useful for matching to other components. A line out allows further addition of power on the same channel for additional speakers or subwoofers. Auto-sense with selectable threshold is perfect for automating complex systems or hiding the amp out of sight in a cabinet. NAD even included a ground lug that can be very effective for eliminating ground loops and noise in complex multi-unit systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded to all this connectivity is a Bridge Switch that turns the C 298 into an amazingly powerful monoblock amplifier.

While the basic operation of a turntable seems simple, extracting all the musical energy from the record grooves without exciting destructive resonances requires both science and art. Let's take a closer look at each of the elements of the C 588 with an explanation of the choices NAD made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronic Speed Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Having exact pitch (speed) is important, but human hearing is much more sensitive to momentary changes in speed which we express with the terms Wow and Flutter. As its name sounds, Wow is a slow cyclical speed variation. The most severe example is the sound of a severely warped record, where the stylus travels faster on the rising side of the warp and slower on the descending side, causing abrupt changes in musical pitch. Flutter is what we call very fast and small variations that are usually generated by the motor. The C 588 addresses both of these problems with proven and effective solutions. A specialized, high precision, synchronous clock motor is both very smooth and accurate, especially when driven from a stable AC voltage. To ensure a clean and stable AC voltage NAD isolate the AC Mains by first converting it to a clean DC voltage, and then electronically generating the precise AC frequency to regulate the synchronous motor. Using a specially formulated belt to drive the platter further filters and isolates any remaining vibration. All rotating parts are made from aluminium alloy machined to very tight tolerances to eliminate any eccentricity or vibration in the drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonearm \u0026amp; Cartridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e The C 588 tonearm features a custom designed carbon fibre tonearm shaft with a fixed metal head shell and a decoupled counterweight with magnetic anti-skate compensation. An Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is factory installed and offers superb tracking and a delicately nuanced full range sound. The C 588 uses a longer than usual 9\" tonearm to optimize overhang and reduce the tracking angle error. To perfectly align the stylus NAD include adjustments for azimuth and vertical tracking angle, and there is a gauge to calibrate the alignment, a rarity at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosing The Triangle:\u003c\/strong\u003e To fully realize the micro-dynamics of music requires a very tight mechanical coupling of the platter and the tonearm. This forms a triangle, as vibrations can travel from record being played, to the platter, through the shaft and bearing to the base (plinth), up the arm mount through the arm pivot and down the arm to the cartridge and stylus. There are many separate parts in this path and some of them are required to move relative to one another through mechanical bearing interfaces. If there is any play in these mechanical interfaces musical energy will be lost. This is why NAD has paid strict attention to precision machining, assembly, and testing that is so important in a turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResonance Control \u0026amp; Isolation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reducing all spurious vibrations to a minimum is critical to getting the best result when playing vinyl. Since these vibrations can come from various sources, both internal and external, the materials and dimensions must all be carefully calculated to reduce and balance all the resonances to prevent a build up of energy at particular frequencies. To isolate external vibrations from the loudspeakers or footfalls bouncing the floor, NAD use a massive MDF base with specially tuned vibration damping feet, along with a thick non-resonant dust cover. The choice of glass platter, felt pad, MDF base, and carbon fibre tonearm, were carefully considered to work together to limit and reduce spurious vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose The NAD C588 Turntable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey say a great chef can make delicious food from very basic ingredients, while a cook without training can make a mess of even the finest and most exotic ingredients.
