M2 Direct Digital Amplifier

The NAD M2 Direct Digital Amplifier represents a new level of amplifier
performance. Combining the ultra low distortion and noise levels of the
finest linear Class A and Class AB amplifiers with the efficiency and
streamlined signal path of the digital amplifier, the M2 is the first
implementation of a new amplifier technology called Direct Digital
Feedback. Co-developed with UK based Diodes Zetex Semiconductor, and
using a unique implementation of their patented DDFA architecture, the
M2 redefines what is possible with digital amplifier technology.
The M2 Direct Digital Amplifier represents the culmination of a decade
long NAD research project, capped by three years of intense development.
The result fully justifies the investment. We believe that the M2 sets
new benchmarks for both measured performance and subjective musical
quality.

C
275BEE Stereo Power Amplifier; 150w x 2
The
C 275BEE boasts many upgrades and refinements taken directly from the
highly acclaimed NAD Masters Series M3 Amplifier. These include
application of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen's innovative and patented Distortion
Canceling Circuit in the output stage and BEE Clamp in the power supply.
A carefully engineered PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to
unprecedented levels. Taken together, these improvements mark a sharp
upturn in performance that simply must be heard, to be fully
appreciated!
