Our favorite NAD C700 gets even better... C700v2 brings some great upgrades ( marked bold below)
The way people discover and experience music has shifted profoundly. Today’s listeners can stream music from vast catalogues over the Internet, often with better sound quality than discs can deliver. Wireless multi-room audio lets listeners enjoy music throughout their homes. At the same time, more listeners are embracing the warm sound and collectability of vinyl. The NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is a compact, “just add speakers” solution that embraces all the possibilities of the modern musical age, offering state-of-the-art amplification and numerous improvements over the original model, including an upgraded DAC, a Moving Magnet phono stage, Dolby Digital decoding, optional Dirac Live room correction, and an included IR remote control.
