CES 2017

NAD is now shipping several products previously announced at CEDIA. Here's a quick rundown.

Whereas other manufacturers slap new model numbers on receivers with subtle design updates, NAD prefers to do new versions of existing models under their existing model numbers. The T 777v3 ($2499) a/v receiver has four slots for upgrade modules, while the T 758v3 ($1199) has one slot. Both have onboard Atmos/X, Ultra HD, and the BluOS multi-room system, so you need not make painful choices and the slots are free for future needs.

Also shown and shipping are the C 388, C 368, and C 338 stereo integrated DAC-amps, at $1599, $899, and $649 respectively. All of the above surround and stereo products are shipping now except for the C 338 which will take a few weeks more.

The CI 720 BluOS power node (or amp) is shipping now for $899 and the RM 720 rack, which can hold six nodes, for $249. Also here and now are the M 32 150-watt stereo digital power amp ($3999) and the M 50.2 two-terabyte audio server with CD slot ($3999), which combines two previous BluOS products.

Roon music software and MQA-invigorated Tidal streaming have been added to the BluOS multi-room app.
