The NAD C700 BluOS amplifier and network player was designed for audiophiles looking for a great companion for high-resolution audio streaming. Its sleek aluminum body houses a powerful HybridDigital UcD amplifier capable of delivering 2x100W of power and a BluOS-compatible streamer for easy access to your favorite audio files or streaming services.

With built-in RJ45 Ethernet, WiFi and BluOS support, the C700 has ideal connectivity options that make it easy to enjoy music locally, online or via streaming services. The C700 also supports Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, allowing you to control music playback directly from those services’ apps. Support for the AirPlay 2 streaming protocol allows you to stream music from Apple devices and your iTunes library. The C700 is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant for control on the go.

The C700 high-resolution DAC accepts up to 24-bit 192 kHz PCM streams. It also supports decoding and rendering of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) files to reproduce audio as close to the original recording as possible.

NAD also provides software to integrate the C700 into a home automation system with Control4, Crestron, Elan, RTI and other platforms.

The C700 has two pairs of analog RCA inputs, as well as coaxial and optical digital inputs. The HDMI eARC port allows you to connect an HDTV and thus control the C700’s volume level from your TV remote.

In addition to speaker output, the C700 offers subwoofer output. The BluOS app allows you to adjust high-pass and low-pass filter settings to perfectly integrate the subwoofer into your existing stereo system.

The C700 also features two-way Bluetooth connectivity, so you can listen to music wirelessly from any connected device. It’s also compatible with the Bluetooth aptX HD codec for near-CD quality playback.

The NAD C700 BluOS is a compact and sleek all-in-one solution designed for music lovers who want to open the door to the world of streaming. Small but mighty, the C700 delivers dynamic, musical and lively performance. From the moment of installation, it allows you to enjoy music from a wide range of local, network and streaming sources, and thanks to digital and analogue inputs, it integrates easily into your existing audio system.

The C700 can be used as a standalone system or integrated into a 63-zone BluOS multi-room system.
