CES 2017

The NAD room was populated by a lot of tall men in suits—all of whom seemed dedicated to preserving and enhancing NAD's tradition of offering exceptionally high-value amplification, à la the legendary NAD 3020 integrated amp. This year, NAD was showcasing their new 145Wpc (into 8 ohms) C-368 hybrid digital DAC/amplifier ($899), and the new 150Wpc Master Series M32 Direct Digital DAC/amplifier seen above ($3999), which was driving PSB's Imagine T3 loudspeakers ($7500/pair) with notable authority.
