NAD Electronics

With an audiophile-grade DAC, hi-res audio streaming, and a plethora of inputs; the NAD Electronics Masters M66 BluOS Streaming DAC/Preamplifier is NAD's flagship preamp component. Pair the M66 with a NAD M23 power amp, or other high-performance amplifier, and active speakers for a top-of-the-line audio experience. Enjoy a wide dynamic range and ultralow distortion with the M66's ESS Sabre DAC and ADC chips, while using Dirac technology for both room correction and independent bass control. Built-in hi-res network streaming supports a variety of formats, such as MQA, with resolution up to 24-bit/192 kHz from over 20 services or your own personal library. These features simply highlight the M66's long list of capabilities, which can be expanded in the future using optional MDC2 modules.Dirac Live Room Correction Use the supplied calibrated microphone to record the sonic characteristics of your room, and have Dirac Live Room Correction automatically configure audio output to your space. This is designed to compensate for acoustic problems like standing waves and unwanted reflections.Dirac Live Bass Control Seamlessly blend your subs to your main speakers with Dirac Live Bass Control. It uses four balanced and four single-ended subwoofer outputs, providing independent control of each in order to deliver a more accurate performance.Dynamic Digital Headroom DDH (Dynamic Digital Headroom) circuitry within the M66 is activated from the BluOS app, working to eliminate digital inter-sample peak clipping distortion, which is most noticeable when listening to percussion-heavy music.Analog Direct Mode Bypass digital processing with Analog Direct Mode. This mode separates analog and digital sources, shielding them internally with their own power supplies. This function helps to minimize distortion from digital interface.Connect Everything The rear of the M66 is jam-packed with inputs for connecting a wide range of sources. Vinyl fans will enjoy the MM/MC phono input with precise RIAA equalization, high overload margins, and infrasonic noise suppression. HDMI eARC is available for TV and movie viewing, while music and other media can be connected via two coaxial, two optical S/PDIF, an AES/EBU balanced digital input, two pair of RCA line-level analog inputs, and a pair of XLR balanced inputs.Additional Features Multi-room playback with support for up to 63 Blu-OS-enabled componentsBuilt-in 7" touchscreenDigital volume controlWi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivityVoice control with Alexa or SiriRoon ReadyIntegrates with Control4, Crestron, ELAN, RTI, URC & moreDedicated high-impedance headphone amplifierAluminum chassis
