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.

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.
