Canadian company NAD Electronics has introduced its C 700 V2 BluOS streaming amp, featuring an improved ESS Sabre DAC, MM phono input, Dolby Digital decoding, Dirac Live readiness and IR remote control.

NAD reveals that: “one of the standout features of the C 700 V2 is its seamless integration of stereo and surround sound capabilities. The ability to switch to a 4.1 Dolby Digital Surround setup with BluOS Enabled rear channels and a wired subwoofer expands its versatility, making it suitable for both music and home theatre applications.”

Being ready for Dirac Live means the amp offers users the ability to unlock advanced room correction capabilities by purchasing a Dirac Live license. Using a calibrated mic (sold separately) and the Dirac app, users can precision-tune their speakers to enjoy music and movies anywhere in the room. The C 700 V2 stores up to five Dirac Live profiles for different setups and conditions.

NAD adds: “The extensive range of connectivity including HDMI eARC, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 provides flexibility for various devices, enhancing the amplifier’s integration capabilities within diverse entertainment systems. It also includes USB Type A for music playback and connecting an optional calibration mic.

“BluOS streaming and multi-room functionality are at the core of the C 700 V2 amp, providing access to over 20 popular music streaming services, thousands of internet radio stations and local digital music libraries.”

It’s also compatible with major home control systems and voice assistants like Alexa and Siri, features a high-definition 5in glass colour display providing album art, track progress and system settings, a solid aluminium body and controls via the BluOS Controller app, along with the included remote and compatibility with other IR handsets.
