NAD integrates the best of its technologies into a single component (moreover small in size), bringing together traditional quality, performance and functions but also (and above all) those dedicated to new ways of listening to music.
On board BluOS, the operating system that NAD has developed to create an efficient wireless network with management of high resolution audio files and MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) between NAD and Dali compatible components and Bluesound.
In plain sight aluminum and glass that make the M10 a product with a very modern character, also underlined by the TFT touch-screen display (with proximity sensor) on the front panel, the one that communicates information on the track being played in a clear and simple way and the album image it came from.
Power section by Hypex nCore: a solution that has made it possible to reduce the dimensions of the amplifier and at the same time to have a sufficient number of watts: 2x100 nominal watts both on 8 and 4 ohms, in dynamic regime the numbers rise to 2x160 watts into 8 ohms and 2x300 into 4. A reserve of power that leaves you calm about matching it with any loudspeaker, even those with low efficiency and difficult loads.
As a modern machine, the M10 was designed to live in an equally modern home, perhaps where home automation components and systems are already present. In this sense, its compatibility with Crestron, Control4, Lutron and others that will be added to the list stands out. Direct interaction also with Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa so as to have direct vocal access to the major audio streaming systems on the internet; the link with Apple is strengthened by the integration of AirPlay2 which allows direct management of products compatible with the standard. Also highlighted is the integration of Dirac Live, the most powerful, complete and flexible consumer system for room acoustic correction.
To be ready to handle different sources and different formats you need to be well equipped in terms of connections and certainly the M10 is! Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 network port, USB Type A, HDMI ARC, digital optical and coaxial inputs, one pair of analogue RCA inputs, dedicated subwoofer output, pre-out, IR Input, 12V Trigger Out.

The connections that are not seen, those that do without the cable and its connector, are in addition to BluOS also an advanced two-way Bluetooth (ie it manages an audio stream in and out simultaneously) with HD functionality thanks to the Qualcomm aptX chipset . The digital section of the M10 is handled by an ESS Saber 32bit/384kHz DAC.
