NAD has revealed the latest product in its “just add speakers” category, the C 700 BluOS Streaming Amplifier.
Dominated by a 5-inch screen for displaying album art, menus and settings, its solid aluminium build houses a HybridDigital UcD amplifier and BluOS Enabled network streamer.
The former promises to offer ultra-low noise and distortion regardless of loudspeaker load, with the ability to deliver 2x80 watts of continuous power and 2x120 watts of instantaneous power for crisp, clear reproduction.
Connectivity-wise, you’ll find optical and coaxial digital inputs, along with an HDMI eARC port. There are also two pairs of RCA line-level inputs for analogue lovers, as well as a subwoofer output (which is complemented by a high-pass filter that can be set between 40Hz and 200Hz).
Priced at £1299 (US$1499, AU$2599), the company states that the C 700 delivers an experience close to that of its Masters Series M10, and is aimed at users who are after, "an uncompromised listening experience with a focus on value". The NAD C 700 is available now, with a January 2022 launch planned for Australia.
