Some days ago NAD announced the launch of an interesting modular stereo amplifier, the C 399, for lovers of classic hi-fi looking for a powerful and modern equipment.
Now the manufacturer has signaled the arrival in its catalog of a slightly different device than what they have dubbed as C 700 and what comes with minicama spirit to conquer a more off-road audience in search of ease of use and multi-functionality.

Based on the “just add speakers” philosophy of the brand, the idea is to offer everything necessary to assemble a stereo set. except the speakers, that we will have to buy them separately. On this specific occasion, a robust design with an aluminum casing has been chosen behind which is a UcD HybridDigital amplifier and a BluOS streamer.
This allows us to choose music from different sources such as digital services from streaming online like Spotify or Tidal as well as Internet radios or digital libraries stored on devices connected to the C 700’s USB port.
The equipment has a glass front panel and a 5 inch HD screen which displays album related photos, track status, and system settings. In addition, from it we can make the main settings of the amplifier, having the advantage that it can learn the commands of any remote control that we already have at home.
The high-efficiency UcD amplifier design allows to offer 2 x 80 watts of continuous power and 2×120 watts of instantaneous power, which are routed to the audiophile grade speaker outputs. But we also have an output to connect a powered subwoofer with its respective low-pass filter settings.
Connectivity is completed with two pairs of RCA analog inputs as well as coaxial and optical inputs for connecting CD players, game consoles, adapters and other devices. It also has HDMI eARC port to connect a compatible TV with Bluetooth aptX interface for wireless audio.

The new NAD C 700 will arrive in Spain from November 2021 for a recommended price of 1499 euros.
