This stylish sizzling separates systems brings together an amplifier and CD player from respected hifi manufacturer NAD. Sporting stylish Titanium finishes, the highly-rated C326BEE Amplifier and C545BEE CD Player make a great looking and superb sounding pair.
NAD C326BEE AMPLIFIER
The NAD C326BEE is the latest in a long line of Award-Winning hifi amplifiers that are the foundation of NAD's fantastic reputation. Improvements in circuit layout as well as technologies developed for NAD's flagship amplifiers give this new design even greater finesse whilst maintaining the power and control these amps are famous for.
Technical improvements include several modifications to electronics in the signal path to further reduce distortion at all levels and deliver a truer performance. A specially designed circuit built by NAD's cheif designer, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, ensures the power supply to the delicate circuits is even cleaner than before and an improved layout of components and boards inside the amp reduce interference down to a minimum.
All these improvements amount to an amplifier that delivers a well judged performance with all types of music. The C326BEE is powerful enough to deliver the energy of rock or an orchestra in full swing yet delicate enough to portray the finest details of subtle, atmospheric acoustic recordings too. Packing 50 watts per channel, the C326 has more than enough power to handle difficult speakers and go as loud as you are likely to need.
Completing the feature count, a front minijack input enables easy connection of an iPod or other Media Player, pre out/power amp in connections allow easy upgrades and the inclusion of two subwoofer outputs means your system can expand in the future. Overall a package of changes that have brought the C326 design right up-to-date whilst still retaining sensible features and the upgradeability of earlier models.
NAD C545BEE CD PLAYER
Based on its well-respected and hugely successful forebears, the C541i and C542, the NAD C545BEE continues the fine tradition and further improves the line with extra functionality and improved acoustic performance.
The C-545BEE features the same precise timing and accuracy of its predecessor but with improved image depth, scale and stunning low-frequency performance. Plus, for portable audio fans, the C545 features MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding.
With a Burr Brown 24-bit DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), toroidal power supply and separate, isolated power regulators for the analogue and digital sections, the C545BEE has been designed to the highest standards and delivers a glorious acoustic experience whatever the music genre.
