The compact and stylish BluOS Streaming Amplifier NAD C700 is perfect for audiophiles looking for the greatest value for their investment. Under the robust aluminum casing is a powerful HybridDigital UcD amplifier compatible with all BluOS streaming functionality.
Using the intuitive BluOS app you can play music from a digital library or stream from online services such as Spotify, Amazon Music HD, Tidal or Qobuz. The glass front panel features a 5” screen that displays album art, playback progress and system settings.
Thanks to NAD-guaranteed HybridDigital UcD amplification technology, the C700 can deliver 2 x 80W of continuous power and 2 x 120W of dynamic power for smooth reproduction of even the most complex musical passages.
C700 is also compatible with Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, so you can control playback from these apps. For its part, AirPlay 2 will allow you to stream music from Apple devices and iTunes libraries. If you want to control playback without hands, you can also do so thanks to the voice assistants Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant.
The NAD C700's high-resolution DAC can perform quality streaming at up to 32-bit and 192 kHz resolution. Like all BluOS Enables devices, the C700 has full MQA decoding. Thanks to this, it is possible to enjoy lossless audio in Hi-Res from online services such as Amazon Music HD, Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal.
NAD offers software tools that allow the C700 to integrate into smart home ecosystems such as Control4, Crestron, Elan, RTI and others. This way you can control audio playback along with other home systems such as lighting, air conditioning or security.
C700 has two pairs of analog RCA inputs, as well as optical and coaxial digital inputs, for connecting CD players, consoles, media adapters and other devices. It also has an HDMI eARC port to connect to HD televisions with this type of connection. Thus, the volume of the TV remote control will control that of the NAD C700.
In addition to the speaker outputs, the C700 has a subwoofer output jack. Using the BluOS app you can adjust the high-pass crossover for a seamless fusion between the subwoofer and the speakers.
C700 is also equipped with aptX HD two-way Bluetooth, so you can also listen to music using wireless headphones and stream from any smart electronic device.
NAD C700 can be used as a music system on its own, or can be integrated into a BluOS multi-room sound system that can have up to 63 zones and is fully compatible with high-resolution audio. It can also connect to other AirPlay 2 devices.
