NAD D3045 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier - Black

Higher Fidelity

Hi-Res is to audio, what HD is to video. It is more lifelike, natural, and a much more enjoyable listening experience. With features like support for MQA music, the D 3045 can faithfully and accurately reproduce the full spectrum of sound encapsulated on the studio master. Until now, music loving consumers have only been able to hear an edited version of the full fidelity because the delivery systems, be it tape, vinyl, or CD, did not have the capacity to hold all the information contained in the studio-master recording. With hi-res downloads and streaming we can now enjoy exactly the same experience the artist heard in the studio when the recording was first made. This is revolutionary! Yet, 90% of the products on the market today do not have the full capability required to experience this new higher fidelity.

Amazing Capability

Every input and circuit you need to get the best out of your existing music collection is included, plus features that allow you to experience the sonic benefits of hi-res audio. Especially notable is the Asynchronous USB input for attaching a computer which allows hi-res streaming using one of the several hi-res programs like Roon, JRiver, and Amarra. Asynchronous operation uses the D 3045’s precision clock (instead of the computer's clock) to reduce jitter to a minimum and make the USB format work ideally for audio. For everyday convenience we have included Bluetooth wireless streaming powered by aptX HD, the latest 24 bit hi-res version of Bluetooth that is being supported by more and more phones and tablets. You can also use its integrated two-way Bluetooth feature, and effortlessly stream music that is playing on the amp to any pair of Bluetooth enabled headphones. Or you can plug in your headphones to the built-in headphone jack and enjoy the exceptional performance of our low impedance, high current headphone amplifier.
