The NAD Masters M66 is not only the most advanced preamplifier NAD has ever offered; it is a device that creates a completely new class in the world of High-End audio. It combines the roles of a premium DAC preamplifier, a high-resolution network player, and a revolutionary tool for acoustic room optimization.
At its heart are two top-of-the-line ESS Sabre chips that ensure flawless digital signal conversion. The built-in BluOS platform allows easy access to all popular music services and multi-room functionality. Connectivity is uncompromising: from MM/MC turntable input and HDMI eARC to balanced XLR inputs.
Its real revolution, however, lies in its bass management. In addition to the full version of Dirac Live room correction, the M66 is one of the first stereo components in the world to feature Dirac Live Bass Control. This technology allows independent control and coordination of up to four subwoofers, ensuring a completely smooth and precise bass response throughout the room – a problem that conventional stereo systems cannot solve.
A sleek aluminum casing, a 7-inch touchscreen and two slots for future upgrades (MDC2) round out the package that represents the future of high-end audio.
