Featuring Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control, its elegant design and vibrant 7″ touchscreen exudes quality and class. Pair it with NAD’s M23 power amplifier for a stunning system that excels technologically, sonically, and visually. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeak Performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe digital section of the M66 employs ESS Technology’s flagship ES9038PRO Sabre DAC, an audiophile-grade design acclaimed for its ultra-low noise and distortion, exceptionally wide dynamic range, and superb time-domain performance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFor volume adjustment, the M66 employs an ultra-precise resistor-ladder control circuit. Compared to traditional analogue circuits, the M66’s digital volume control markedly reduces thermal and related distortions, maximises dynamic range, and more accurately matches left- and right-channel output across the entire volume range.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe M66 is the first component to feature NAD’s innovative Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH) circuitry. When enabled with a control in the BluOS app, DDH eliminates digital inter- sample peak clipping distortion, which can occur during digital-to-analogue conversion of sudden high-frequency transients. The benefits are especially obvious with percussion instruments: cymbals are less splashy and more realistic; rim shots are less strident and more impactful.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePure Analogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTo enable functions like Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control with all signal sources, analogue signals are converted to digital by ESS Technology’s ES9822PRO flagship ADC. However, the M66 has a selectable Analogue Direct mode that bypasses all digital processing. The M66 has separate signal paths for digital and analogue sources, and separate power supplies for the digital and analogue sections, so that analogue signals are unaffected by digital interference when the Analogue Direct mode is engaged. Users can even disable the M66’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth circuitry to minimize RF interference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnect Everything\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith its full suite of analogue and digital inputs, the M66 can accommodate all user source components. For vinyl enthusiasts, there’s an ultra-low-noise MM\/MC phono stage with precise RIAA equalization, high overload margins, and an innovative circuit that removes infrasonic noise without compromising bass response. For TV and movie viewing, the M66 has an HDMI eARC interface for connection to an HDTV. In addition, the M66 has two coaxial and two optical S\/PDIF inputs, an AES\/EBU balanced digital input, two sets of RCA analogue inputs, and one pair of XLR balanced inputs. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEthernet and Wi-Fi networking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBluOS network streamer provides access to over 20 streaming services, including \u2028several that deliver lossless and high-resolution audio \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlagship ESS Sabre DAC and ADC chips \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInnovative Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH) circuit eliminates digital intersample \u2028peak clipping distortion \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull MQA hardware decoding and rendering \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptional Analogue Bypass Mode \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeparate signal paths for digital and analogue sources; separate power supplies for \u2028digital and analogue sections \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupport for Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeamless integration with smarthome control systems such as Crestron, Control4, \u2028ELAN, RTI, URC, and others \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri voice control \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirac Live Room Correction \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour balanced and four unbalanced subwoofer outputs \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirac Live Bass Control enables seamless blend between the subwoofer(s) and main \u2028speakers, and smooth bass response throughout the listening area \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltra-quiet MM\/MC phono stage with precise RIAA equalization, high overload \u2028margins, and infrasonic filter \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHDMI port with eARC support \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo optical and two coaxial S\/PDIF inputs, one AES\/EBU balanced digital input, two \u2028pairs of RCA line-level analogue inputs, one pair of XLR balanced inputs \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDedicated headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output \u2028voltage capability \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltra-precise resistor-ladder digital volume control \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7′′ front-panel touchscreen \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElegant aluminum casework \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo MDC2 expansion slots for adding future capabilities \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIR remote \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NAD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627704729814,"sku":null,"price":7999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2457\/9030\/files\/M66_Front_PRELIMINARY__11794.jpg?v=1766309924","url":"https:\/\/unifyav.ca\/products\/nad-m66-bluos-streaming-dac-preamplifier","provider":"Unify AV","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
