NAD D 3020 v2 Hybrid Digital Amplifier With Built-in MM Phono Stage

Description: NAD D 3020 v2 Hybrid Digital Amplifier With Built-in MM Phono Stage Brand New Rebirth of a Classic with 21st Century Features Now Includes a Built-in Phono StageThe original NAD 3020 introduced a generation of music lovers to true high fidelity sound. The term 'high fidelity' literally means 'true to the original.' In the 1970s, over a million people rediscovered their music when they placed a NAD 3020 between their turntable and loudspeakers. This little gem embarrassed amplifiers costing 10 times more with its big, warm, detailed sound. Once people realized what they had been missing, it led them to a lifetime of enhanced musical enjoyment.Today, the music source is more likely to be a computer or smartphone than a turntable, but the ability to choose speakers that perfectly suit one's taste is still a compelling argument for upgrading to a NAD amplifier. The D 3020 starts with the original NAD 3020 concept and takes it straight to the 21st century using the latest high-speed digital technology.By adapting to today's media sources and using state-of-the-art digital technology for the new world of digital music, the D 3020 puts a completely modern spin on an old icon. The original designer of the 3020, NAD's Director of Advanced Technology, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, has been pivotal in developing the D 3020 for the new digital generation. Offering an excellent quality 24/192 DAC with eight channels mixed to two for improved resolution, the D 3020 represents the same kind of value-bending innovation that gave the original 3020 its legendary overachieving phono stage.Real World PerformanceNAD rewrote the rules for amplifiers when designing the original 3020. Instead of letting laboratory test equipment have the last word, NAD made sure that it could properly drive real loudspeakers with real music for the real world. The D 3020 V2 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive developed by Bjorn Erik Edvardsen that allows low impedance drive (current) and high dynamic power (voltage) at vanishingly low distortion levels. This refinement of PowerDrive, combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 V2 sound even more powerful than it already is. An innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.Power that Really DeliversPower output may sound small at 30 watts per channel, but like all NAD amplifiers this is very misleading, as a properly designed 30-watt amplifier can sound superior to a 100-watt amplifier from a lesser brand. With its very small form factor, the D 3020 V2 will astound you with its ability to drive difficult loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion.Features:Compact integrated amplifierBuilt-in 24/192 DAC with eight channels mixed to twoNAD PowerDrive technologyPrecision soft clipping circuitInnovative Bass EQ circuitBuilt in MM phono stageCoaxial and optical inputsAnalog inputsWireless streaming with Bluetooth aptXHighly efficient 'green' designSpecs:Rated Power at 8 ohms: 30 wattsIHF Dynamic Power: 8 ohms, 65 watts; 4 ohms, 105 wattsSignal/Noise Ratio (A-weighted): ≥90dBChannel Separation: 1 kHz ≥75dB; 10 kHz ≥65dBChannel Balance: 0 ±0.3dBFrequency Response (20Hz - 96kHz): 0dB to -0.3dBTotal Harmonic Distortion: ≤0.005%Maximum input level: 5VIMD (SMPTE): 0.02%IMD (CCIF): 0.003%General SpecificationsStandby Power: ≤0.5 WattsSupports bit rate/sample rate: Up to 24/96Dimensions: 2-5/16" wide, 7-3/8" high, 8-5/8" deepWeight: 3.05 lbs.
