Hi-Fi Products of 2023/24 - Editor's Choice Awards
by Ed Selley
Another year of technically accomplished, beautifully engineered and cracking sounding two channel equipment is complete and it’s time to round up the kit that impressed us the most.
The hype has died down, the 1,973 limited edition ones have been sold and now the ‘normal’ NAD C3050 has arrived. Is this a credible integrated amp option in 2023 or should NAD have kept it as a one off?
NAD unveils Master M66 BluOS streaming DAC-preamplifier
by Ian Collen
The new flagship model is set to arrive later in the year, following the impending launch of its C 3050 Stereophonic Amplifier, with early access to both models on offer at the High End Munich show.
Built to celebrate NAD’s 50th Anniversary the 3050LE is rather different to any NAD product we’ve seen before but can the state of the art innards play nice with the retro aesthetic?
Its new low-cost audio solution is designed to be integrated into any existing set-up, or perhaps combined with a pair of powered speakers, for plug-and-play simplicity.
The flagship of NAD’s Classic Series is a very sophisticated piece of kit indeed. Can it harness its potential and deliver everything you need in a single box?
The implementation of the Purifi Eigentakt amplifier technology in NAD’s new Masters M23 hybrid digital stereo power amplifier aims to deliver audiophile performance and value.
NAD’s latest ‘just add speakers’ solution is the C 700 BluOS streaming amplifier which brings Hybrid Digital amplification, 80 watts per channel and the BluOS streaming engine together in a compact and modern design.
The biggest influence on sound quality is the room itself, and while you can physically mitigate some of the negative aspects with acoustic treatments, a software solution is easier. Dirac Live room correction is a sophisticated solution, and the dominant software in higher-end processors and receivers.
Owners of a number of NAD (pre) amplifiers will be able to add high-resolution PCM and DSD computer music playback and streaming via the new MDC USB DSD module.
For those working with high performance distributed audio systems, NAD’s latest announcement brings 16-channels, reliability, stability and installer-friendly features.
The NAD T 778 introduces a new design concept including a large TFT touchscreen, support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X along with Dirac Live room correction and BluOS streaming. So is it any good?
NAD announces the launch of the T 758 V3i surround sound receiver, with Dolby Atmos, DTS Master Audio, BluOS Hi-Res multi-room audio, Dirac Live, 4K UHD Video and Apple AirPlay 2 all built-in as standard.
Announced back in September 2019, the anticipated 9-channel T 778 AV receiver from NAD, the respected manufacturer of high-performance audio/video components, is now available.
NAD has built an all-in-one system that promises to take the fight to the best in class - can the M10 deliver on the potential of its outstanding specification?
BluOS is to integrate Amazon Music HD meaning NAD, Bluesound and other products that use the streaming platform will be able to provide Amazon’s Hi-Res music service.
Aiming to please the most demanding audiophiles and videophiles, NAD’s latest reference AV receiver, the T 778 combines new features with their established sound quality.
The premise has been made that high end amplifiers sound largely the same and the main benefit is just a psychological feel good. Could this really be the case? Or is this the opinion of a few enthusiasts who have not heard enough different models?
