BluOS Streaming Amplifier
With the introduction of the NAD Masters M10 V3, the ideal integrated amplifier for the Internet era just got even better. As with its forebears, the M10 V3 combines a sophisticated network streamer and powerful 100-watt-per-channel amp in one inviting and intuitive package. Using the intuitive BluOS app, you can cue up your favourite music up to Hi-Res 24bit/192kHz from your smart device or computer and deliver it with unimpeachable fidelity to your speakers. The M10 V3 maintains everything that made the original and V2 so beloved, but improves upon the platform with the addition of NAD’s new BC1 IR remote control, support for optional Dirac Live Bass Control, a phono input (MM), and an upgraded DAC.
Like its predecessors, the M10 V3 exemplifies the “Just Add Speakers” revolution in hi-fi, whether you’re simply connecting a pair of your favourite speakers to the audiophile-grade speaker terminals or pairing two additional wireless BluOS-enabled rear speakers for a full-fledged Dolby Digital 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2-channel surround sound system. Settings for the dual subwoofer outputs can be adjusted using the intuitive BluOS Controller app. What’s more, the M10 V3’s Dirac Live Room Correction capabilities have been upgraded to support Dirac Live Bass Control** via an optional license. This not only unlocks optimization of multiple subwoofers, but also co-optimization of subwoofers and speakers to significantly improve the blend between the main speakers and subs to unlock the full potential of every sound source in the room, reduce of anomalies caused by the listening environment itself. The M10 V3 can store multiple Dirac profiles for different listening positions or room conditions—for example, whether the drapes are open or closed—and each of these presets can be accessed at the touch of a button of the supplied BC1 IR remote control.
The M10 V3 offers an abundance of control options, in addition to the included remote. With the BluOS app, you play music from your favourite streaming services, as well as files stored on USB and network drives, using your smartphone, tablet, or PC. The
M10 V3 supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream music from an iPhone, iPad, or iTunes library directly.

That, in addition to numerous other streaming services supports directly within the BluOS app, including including Hi-Res music services such as Amazon Music Ultra HD, Tidal Max, Deezer, Qobuz, and many others.
You can choose tracks, select sources, and adjust volume and other settings from the M10 V3’s touchscreen. The supplied remote control lets you adjust volume, skip tracks, and activate preset commands. The M10 V3 is compatible with the Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri digital voice assistants, and can be integrated into Apple, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, and other control and automation ecosystems, so you can control music playback, along with other home systems like lighting, shades, HVAC, and security.
