NAD Say….
An elegant, top-of-the-line, BluOS™ – capable integrated amplifier with a host of features that offer maximum flexibility, excellent efficiency, and reduced noise and distortion. Also includes a phono input and a headphone output to accommodate music lovers of all kinds.
Using a proprietary modular design, you can upgrade or expand your M32 as technologies emerge, ensuring a cost-effective way to keep the music “on” into the future.
With the optional MDC BluOS module, you can centralise your digital music libraries and streaming services, and control playback from your smartphone or tablet. Network any BluOS-enabled product together through your home Wi-Fi connection to create multi-room music experiences.
Advanced software-controlled algorithms result in the shortest signal path from source to speaker to produce virtually no distortion and a damping factor of over 1,000. This technology is among the fastest and most accurate amplification and error correction available.
