{"id":7705894158579,"title":"NAD C 658 BluOS Streaming DAC","handle":"nad-c-658-blu","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe NAD C 658 is a new kind of stereo component, one that at once changes preconceptions and opens new possibilities for audio reproduction. You see, there has never before been a component offering such a rich palette of both new and proven technology. Bold statements? Read on.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRedefining the Architecture of Hi-Fi Playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we move deeper into the 21st Century the way music is distributed and enjoyed continues to evolve away from physical media to streaming. It also has moved away from analog to digital. The 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 STBs). While the 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. A highly sophisticated MM Phono input is also included along with line inputs for legacy analog components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS Enabled\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso on board is BluOS, the most sophisticated High Res streaming system available. BluOS natively supports over 15 streaming music services and indexing of over 250,000 tracks from local network sources. The C 658 becomes a node in the BluOS ecosystem allowing high res network streaming to 64 zones and control options for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS phones, tablets, and desk top devices. BluOS also supports all major smart home controllers and is available in a wide range of products making it easy to create a whole house audio system with the C 658 at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTraditional NAD Performance and Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is part of our 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 performance and features in a sturdy no-nonsense package then you have the right address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh Resolution in Every Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost NAD components have been High Res for 45 years with very wide bandwidth, low distortion, and ultra-low noise. We just never had High Res source material to play. With High Res digital recording and streaming, combined with advanced technology like MQA, record companies are opening their vaults and releasing Studio Master Quality recordings. MQA decoding is available through BluOS Streaming content. The C 658 is pure High Res from input to output and features the ESS Sabre 32bit DAC , one of the best performing DACs on the market today with its 118dB Dynamic Range and incredibly low jitter spec. All preamp functions are executed in the digital domain including the same wide range non-truncating digital volume control used in our Masters Series components. This offers an incredibly short analog 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\u003ch3\u003eMake the Speakers Disappear (It's Not Magic)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is also the first NAD stereo component to feature Dirac Live room correction, the most sophisticated and effective room correction available. Dirac corrects the impulse response of your speakers, in addition to the frequency response of your room, for a truly transparent window into the musical performance. When the room resonances are tamed and the transient response is corrected, the result is magical. You have never heard your speakers sound this invisible or this good!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: The C 658 includes a license for Dirac Live with the option for advanced users to upgrade to a Dirac Live Full Frequency version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into every BluOS Enabled amplifier to capture and deliver MQA music to your speakers in the purest quality. All BluOS Enabled players and systems include a powerful decoder and audio renderer for the millions of the MQA encoded songs, The MQA logo shown in the BluOS app indicates that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and lets you know that you are hearing exactly what the artist recorded and approved in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLine Input, Pre-out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.005% at 2V out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;106dB (IHF;

You see, there has never before been a component offering such a rich palette of both new and proven technology. Bold statements? Read on.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRedefining the Architecture of Hi-Fi Playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we move deeper into the 21st Century the way music is distributed and enjoyed continues to evolve away from physical media to streaming. It also has moved away from analog to digital. The 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 STBs). While the 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. A highly sophisticated MM Phono input is also included along with line inputs for legacy analog components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS Enabled\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso on board is BluOS, the most sophisticated High Res streaming system available. BluOS natively supports over 15 streaming music services and indexing of over 250,000 tracks from local network sources. The C 658 becomes a node in the BluOS ecosystem allowing high res network streaming to 64 zones and control options for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS phones, tablets, and desk top devices. BluOS also supports all major smart home controllers and is available in a wide range of products making it easy to create a whole house audio system with the C 658 at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTraditional NAD Performance and Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is part of our 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 performance and features in a sturdy no-nonsense package then you have the right address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh Resolution in Every Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost NAD components have been High Res for 45 years with very wide bandwidth, low distortion, and ultra-low noise. We just never had High Res source material to play. With High Res digital recording and streaming, combined with advanced technology like MQA, record companies are opening their vaults and releasing Studio Master Quality recordings. MQA decoding is available through BluOS Streaming content. The C 658 is pure High Res from input to output and features the ESS Sabre 32bit DAC , one of the best performing DACs on the market today with its 118dB Dynamic Range and incredibly low jitter spec. All preamp functions are executed in the digital domain including the same wide range non-truncating digital volume control used in our Masters Series components. This offers an incredibly short analog 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\u003ch3\u003eMake the Speakers Disappear (It's Not Magic)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is also the first NAD stereo component to feature Dirac Live room correction, the most sophisticated and effective room correction available. Dirac corrects the impulse response of your speakers, in addition to the frequency response of your room, for a truly transparent window into the musical performance. When the room resonances are tamed and the transient response is corrected, the result is magical. You have never heard your speakers sound this invisible or this good!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: The C 658 includes a license for Dirac Live with the option for advanced users to upgrade to a Dirac Live Full Frequency version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into every BluOS Enabled amplifier to capture and deliver MQA music to your speakers in the purest quality. All BluOS Enabled players and systems include a powerful decoder and audio renderer for the millions of the MQA encoded songs, The MQA logo shown in the BluOS app indicates that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and lets you know that you are hearing exactly what the artist recorded and approved in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLine Input, Pre-out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.005% at 2V out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;106dB (IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500mV out, unity gain)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel separation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;80dB (1kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;70dB (10kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInput impedance (R and C)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e22 kohms + 100pF\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum input signal\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;4.5Vrms (ref. 0.1% THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSource Z + 240 Ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInput sensitivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e93mV (ref. 500mV out, Volume maximum)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e±0.3dB (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum voltage output - IHF load\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;4.5V (ref. 0.1% THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTone Controls Treble\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;±7.0dB at 20kHz; Bass: ±7.0dB at 60Hz; Balance: -10dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePhono Input, Audio Pre-out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.01% at 2V out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;84dB (200 Ohm source; A-weighted, ref. 500mV out)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;76dB (MM cartridge source, IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500mV out)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInput sensitivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.44mV (ref. 500mV out, Volume maximum)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;±0.3dB (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum input signal at 1kHz\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;80mVrms (ref. 0.1% THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLine Input, Headphone Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.005% at 1V out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;110dB (32 Ohms loads; A-WTD, ref. 2V out, unity gain)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e±0.3dB (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel separation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;60dB at 1kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSupported audio file formats\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, WMA-L, ALAC, OPUS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHigh resolution audio formats\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMQA, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Supports converted DSD playback via the BluOS desktop app (only)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNative sampling rates\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eup to 32bit\/192kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBit depths\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 - 24\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSupported operating systems\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlays music from network shares on the following desktop operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8 to current Windows Operating Systems and Mac OS X versions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUser interface mobile operating system\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eluOS - Free Android and iOS App available online at Google Play and Apple App store\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSupported cloud services\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpotify, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz, HDTracks, HighResAudio, Murfie, JUKE, Napster, Slacker Radio, KKBox, Bugs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFree internet radio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuneIn Radio, iHeartRadio, Calm Radio, Radio Paradise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBluetooth quality\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBluetooth aptX HD wireless built-in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBluetooth connectivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo-Way (Transmit and Receive)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNetwork connectivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigabit Ethernet RJ45\u003cbr\u003eWiFi 5 (802.11 ac\/n)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDimensions And Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e435 x 100 x 405mm (17 1\/8 x 3 15\/16 x 16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e10.1kg (22.3lb)\u003c\/p\u003e"}

With the employment of the new Purifi Eigentakt Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, the M33 follows NAD's long-standing tradition in identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology. With a minimum of 200W per channel on tap, the result is lifelike performance, exemplified by ultra-low distortion and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS High-Res Music Streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bar has been Raised with the Masters M33 BluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Flagship Model Builds On Remarkable Success with Advanced Features, Cutting-Edge Technology and High Power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of a growing ecosystem of compatible products, BluOS tightly integrates hardware and software for an exceptional user experience. The only true wireless High-Resolution multi-room system available today, BluOS supports the new standard for High Res streaming, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA). BluOS also supports over 20 free and paid subscription services as well as supporting locally stored music libraries. With BluOS, the M33 retains all the audiophile features and further adds a range of facilities that will expand its capabilities yet simplifies ease-of-use at the same time. Operable with the BluOS app, the supplied remote control or through hands-free control with any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, the M33's front panel never needs to be touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDIRAC Live Room Correction On Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperts agree that room acoustics are the weakest link in most sound systems with room reflections deteriorating tonal balance and dynamics. Dirac, one of the most highly regarded Room Correction systems available, not only adjusts for frequency response, but unlike other room correction systems, it also optimises the impulse response. By optimising the speaker\/room interface, music sounds more natural and lifelike. Supplied with the M33 is a precision microphone to measure the room at and around the listening position so your system can be precisely calibrated for optimum performance. Even the most sophisticated loudspeakers can be markedly improved using Dirac calibration. Each of the 5 Dirac memory slots can store a unique room measurement or different frequency target curves to suit a particular musical taste or genre. The M33 also supports Dirac's advanced 'Bass Control' feature with two independent subwoofer outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexibility Meets Long-Term Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its standard form, the M33 is very complete with a wide range of in\/outputs, BluOS, Dirac, HDMI and more already fully integrated.

Dirac, one of the most highly regarded Room Correction systems available, not only adjusts for frequency response, but unlike other room correction systems, it also optimises the impulse response. By optimising the speaker\/room interface, music sounds more natural and lifelike. Supplied with the M33 is a precision microphone to measure the room at and around the listening position so your system can be precisely calibrated for optimum performance. Even the most sophisticated loudspeakers can be markedly improved using Dirac calibration. Each of the 5 Dirac memory slots can store a unique room measurement or different frequency target curves to suit a particular musical taste or genre. The M33 also supports Dirac's advanced 'Bass Control' feature with two independent subwoofer outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexibility Meets Long-Term Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its standard form, the M33 is very complete with a wide range of in\/outputs, BluOS, Dirac, HDMI and more already fully integrated.
