NAD has an enviable reputation for creating great sounding products at very affordable prices and nowhere is this clearer than at NAD's CD players. NADExperienced engineers know exactly where to spend a little extra money for a better quality part, in order to remove the very best sound from the Compact Disc. CD players use mechanical, digital and analogue technology to produce sound, and all three forms of engineering have a major influence on the end result and require a careful design and engineering.
NAD has an enviable reputation for creating great sounding products at very affordable prices and nowhere is this clearer than at NAD's CD players. NADExperienced engineers know exactly where to spend a little extra money for a better quality part, in order to remove the very best sound from the Compact Disc. CD players use mechanical, digital and analogue technology to produce sound, and all three forms of engineering have a major influence on the end result and require a careful design and engineering.
A solid mechanical basis is of the utmost importance for reducing external vibrations and for a precise placement of the CD-Drive mechanism. This makes a smooth effect and a minimum of tracking errors possible. Heavy profile steel and non-resonant plastic mold forms are carefully designed for optimum results. The transport is mounted on reinforced steel rails and more than 30 fasteners are used to lock the assembly and to maintain the precise dimensional stability.
Due to the accurate clocks of the digital data flow, the Wolfson can 24 bit DAC Ensure an accurate linearity of the PCM data conversion to analogue wave form. Audio On Ampère buffers the exit without adding noise or distortion to the music. Multi -layer PCBs that use surface -mounted components ensure an improved circuit layout with very short signal paths. The power supply of these elements is a tailor-made active diet that provides several regular voltages for transport, digital circuits, analogue circuits and the rule and display circuits. The result of this careful engineering is a sound that is both detailed and natural, with dramatic dynamic contrasts.
The NAD C 538 contains many desirable functions that increase listening pleasure. The operating elements on the front panel are duplicated on the handheld remote control, which means that the functions play, pause, skil and scanning are possible. In addition, there are many more functions available on the remote control, such as Random: Tracks/Files are played in the random mode, program: Go to or close the program mode, repeat: track, file, folder or whole disk is repeated, RPT A-B : Playout order is repeated. The dimmable dotmatrix display shows the tracks, the total play time. Track time, disc time and remaining time are all available. The C 538 can also play CD-R/CD-RW Discs, so that you can burn songs from your computer to play them on your CD playing system.
Because these songs are encrypted in MP3 or WMA format, you can fit music on a single disk for up to 10 hours, which is great for party mixes and listening. There are also both optical and coaxial digital outputs that connect to an external DAC Or make digital component (such as an AVR) possible to offer the most efficient and best sounding system setups.
Although the popularity of music downloads and streaming continues to increase, CDs are still the most important listening source for millions of people around the world. NAD continues to innovate and improve his CD players to get better performance and at the same time keep prices low. Whether you are making your first home system, whether you are upgrading your current CD player, you have to take into account the 45-year record of a new player of NAD And his dedication to music lovers around the world.
