NAD C 569

The NAD C 569 is a high-performance CD player for lovers of physical media, fitted with the ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE DAC and DDH (Dynamic Digital Headroom) and MQA Labs QRONO d2a technologies.

Its time-domain-optimised QRONO d2a filtering improves timing accuracy and preserves the finest details of every disc, while DDH technology removes inter-sample clipping distortion in loudness-mastered CDs.

The NXP servo transport mechanism precisely controls speed, laser focus and tracking for smooth, stable, error-free reading. The symmetrical stereo analogue stage, with selected components and local power regulation, reduces noise and interference.

The front panel features a 3.7-inch full-colour LCD with CD-Text support, and it offers RCA analogue outputs plus coaxial and optical digital outputs, so it can be used as an integrated player or as a transport feeding an external DAC.
