Add High-Quality Streaming to Virtually Any System: Compact NAD CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer Supports Roon, MQA and AirPlay2, Pairs with Powered Speakers and More
Add streaming capability to any system — or enhance your a pair of powered speakers — with the NAD CS1 endpoint network streamer. Compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, DLNA, and Roon, this pint-sized box supports up to 24-bit/192kHz and connects to receivers, amps, preamps, and powered speakers via a pair of line-level RCA outputs. It also has optical and coaxial output to mesh with a receiver, external DAC, or speakers with a digital input. CS1 interfaces with your home network via Wi-Fi or LAN Ethernet port; Bluetooth allows it to pair with mobile devices.
Bolstered by an advanced differential digital system based on the Texas Instruments PCM5141 DAC — celebrated for its dynamic range, low distortion, and aversion to jitter — CS1 plays performs full MQA decoding and seamlessly works with both TIDAL and Spotify via the streaming companies’ respective apps. When it comes to no-hassle streaming, and hearing music in high-quality sound, it doesn’t get much easier than with CS1.
