The M27 Power Amplifier featuring nCore technology sets new standards for audio performance, yet is compact and energy efficient.
For years, NAD has been widely recognized as a pioneer in digital audio reproduction. For example, their Masters Series has redefined high-end audio by introducing the world’s first closed loop digital amplifier with performance exceeding analog equivalents and leading to an entirely new system architecture.
