NAD M10 V3 BluOS Streaming System

BluOS Streaming Amplifier

Combining a sophisticated music streamer and powerful 100-watt-per-channel amplifier in one super-stylish chassis, the NAD M10 V3 BluOS Streaming Amplifier fully embodies the way people listen to music today. At the heart of the M10 V3’s user experience is the acclaimed BluOS multi-room music platform, which integrates dozens of streaming music services. You can queue up any music you want using the intuitive BluOS app, and hear it in pristine high fidelity through your favourite loudspeakers. The M10 V3 maintains everything that made the original M10 and M10 V2 so beloved, but improves upon the platform with the addition of NAD’s new BC1 IR remote control, support for optional Dirac Live Bass Control*, a high-performance dedicated phono input (MM), and an upgraded DAC.

Better synergy between your sound system and your room

Like its predecessors, the M10 V3 exemplifies the “Just Add Speakers” revolution in hi-fi, whether you’re simply connecting a pair of your favourite speakers to the audiophile-grade speaker terminals or pairing two additional wireless BluOS-enabled rear speakers for a full-fledged Dolby Digital 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2-channel surround sound system. Settings for the dual subwoofer outputs can be adjusted using the intuitive BluOS Controller app.

Created by the award-winning design firm DF-ID, the M10 V3 features a solid brushed aluminum chassis, Gorilla Glass top and front panels, and a bright 7" touchscreen. With its compact form factor and elegant minimalist design, the M10 V3 it blends beautifully into any living space—not just visually, but sonically as well.

In addition to the Dirac Live Room Correction capabilities carried over from the V2, the M10 V3 has been upgraded to support Dirac Live Bass Control* via an optional license. This not only unlocks optimization of multiple subwoofers, but also co-optimization of subwoofers and speakers to significantly improve the blend between low and high frequencies to unlock the full potential of every sound source in the room, free of anomalies caused by the listening environment itself.

The M10 V3 can store multiple Dirac profiles for different listening positions or room conditions—for example, whether the drapes are open or closed—and each of these presets can be accessed at the touch of a button of the supplied BC1 IR remote control.

Small and mighty

Behind the M10 V3’s gorgeous colour touchscreen display lies a powerful sound system that delivers thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail. The Hybrid Digital amplifier, based on NCore class-D circuitry, is conservatively rated to deliver 100 watts per channel. The unit’s DAC chip has also been upgraded to the ESS Sabre ES9039, which provides even higher dynamic range, lower noise, and more detail. The M10 V3 can stream lossless and high-resolution audio and has full MQA hardware decoding and rendering capabilities. And its new dedicated MM phono preamp assures textbook-accurate RIAA equalization and clean gain, meaning you’ll get the most out of your vinyl collection, as well.

Take control of your musical experience

The M10 V3 offers an abundance of control options, in addition to the BC1 remote control.
