Let One Box Do It All: NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Amplifier Offers High-Res Streaming, Multi-Room Capability, 80WPc Output, Dirac Live Support, HMDI eARC Connectivity, Home-Theater Flexibility, and More
Just how much audiophile performance can a component that weighs just 10.6 pounds and measures just 13.825 x 8.625 x 10.5 inches (HWD) provide? In the case of the NAD C 700 V2 BluOS streaming amplifier, plenty.
A one-box solution that only requires a pair of speakers to start singing with high-fidelity music, C 700 V2 touts a HybridDigital UcD amplifier, BluOS network streamer, ESS SABRE ES9028 DAC, and MM phono preamplifier to offer 80Wpc output, high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz streaming, stellar clarity, and instant compatibility with turntables. Connectivity in the form of one line-level, coaxial, and optical input each invite you to hook up a disc player, gaming console, or accessory component. Its HDMI eARC input is ready for your TV. C 700 V2 can even accommodate a subwoofer.
The all-in-one capability extends to the opportunity to add a pair of wireless BluOS-enabled players and use C 700 V2 as the hub for a 4.1-channel home-theater system complete with Dolby Digital processing. Optional Dirac Live room correction is another possibility given C 700 V2 arrives Dirac Ready and designed to store up to five Dirac profiles for different sources or seating arrangements.
If you really want to talk expansion, C 700 V2 can stream music to up to 64 zones (!) via multi-room functionality that includes support for more than 20 streaming services — Amazon Music UltraHD, TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, and Deezer included — and countless Internet radio stations. Control everything with your voice courtesy of Amazon Alexa or Amazon Siri, or dial it up on the supplied IR remote control.
Housed in a solid aluminum chassis, the Roon-ready C 700 V2 struts its stuff with a five-inch high-def color display and minimalist layout. Apple AirPlay 2, MQA support, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, a USB-A port, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, smart-home integration, and a 12V trigger further enhance the value, versatility, and veracity of what’s an amplifier in name only — and a stylish, space-saving way to start or add to system wherever you want to have it.
