    BluOS Streaming and Control

    The M66 incorporates a high-resolution network streamer based on the acclaimed BluOS multi-room music-management system. Offering access to over 20 streaming services, including lossless and high-resolution audio choices, users can enjoy music with resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz. The BluOS app facilitates intuitive control through smart devices or computers. Furthermore, the M66 seamlessly integrates with home-control systems and responds to voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri.

    Precision Room Correction

    Featuring Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control, the M66 allows precise calibration for an optimal listening experience. The calibration process involves using a supplied calibrated microphone connected to the USB port, guided by the Dirac Live app on a smart device or computer. This results in compensation for acoustic issues, delivering improved bass response, tonal accuracy, clarity, and focused imaging.

    Technological Advancements

    The M66 incorporates ESS Technology's flagship Sabre DAC and ADC chips, renowned for their wide dynamic range, low noise, and distortion. Notably, NAD introduces the innovative Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH) circuitry, eliminating digital intersample peak clipping distortion. Activated through the BluOS app, DDH enhances the impact of percussion instruments and refines the overall audio experience.

    Versatile Connectivity

    With a comprehensive array of analogue and digital inputs, the M66 accommodates various source components. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the ultra-quiet MM/MC phono stage with precise RIAA equalization and infrasonic filter. For audio-visual needs, an HDMI eARC port connects to an HDTV. Other options include coaxial and optical S/PDIF inputs, AES/EBU balanced digital input, RCA line-level analogue inputs, and XLR balanced inputs.

    Future-Proof Design

    The rear panel features two MDC2 expansion slots, showcasing NAD's Modular Design Construction future-proofing technology. This enables M66 owners to effortlessly incorporate new capabilities by inserting an MDC2 module into one of the slots as technology evolves.

    Exquisite Design and Build Quality

    The M66 exudes pride of ownership with its elegant aluminium casework, a 7″ touchscreen, and a silky-smooth digital volume control. Combining leading-edge technology, unparalleled versatility, and impeccable build quality, the Masters M66 stands as a masterpiece of sound that will maintain its technological leadership for years to come.
