Description
NAD’s affordable CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer lets you add
music streaming capability to any stereo or home-theatre system. Or you can
configure a low-footprint music system for your den or home office by
connecting the CS1 to a pair of powered speakers. The CS1 supports the most
popular network streaming and casting protocols, including Apple AirPlay 2,
Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, DLNA mobile and computer apps*, and
Roon, so you can control playback with the music apps you use every day. The
CS1 employs audiophile-grade components and can play high-resolution audio, up
to 24-bit/192kHz.
Plug and Play
A compact, minimalist design, the NAD CS1 has a pair of
line-level analogue RCA outputs for connection to a stereo receiver, integrated
amp, preamplifier, or a pair of powered speakers. Alternatively, you can use
the CS1’s optical or coaxial output to send digital audio to an AV receiver,
external DAC, or a pair of powered speakers with digital input, at up to
24-bit/192kHz resolution.
You can connect the CS1 to your home network via Wi-Fi or
hardwire its LAN Ethernet port to your network router or an access point, or
use Bluetooth® to pair the CS1 with your mobile device.
Stream Your Way
You don’t have to install special apps to play music through
the NAD CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer. Using Bluetooth, you can stream audio
from any app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
You’ll get even better sound via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The CS1
supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream CD-resolution audio from any app on an
iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or from an iTunes library on a Windows PC. With
Chromecast, you can choose the music you want to hear in any Cast-enabled app
on a mobile device or personal computer, then transfer playback to the CS1 at
up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution.
Spotify and Tidal subscribers can cue up music in the apps
for those services, then transfer playback from their device to the CS1. Roon
subscribers can play music from their digital libraries and from streaming
services supported by Roon.
Premium Sound
The CS1 features an advanced differential digital section
based on Texas Instruments’ PCM5141 DAC, a design known for its wide dynamic
range, low noise floor, and immunity to clock jitter. It supports resolution up
to 24-bit/192kHz and has full MQA decoding and rendering capability for playing
Master Quality music from Tidal.
Streaming doesn’t get easier than this. Pair the NAD CS1
Endpoint Network Streamer with your mobile device or connect it to your home
network, then use your favorite apps to choose the music you want to hear. Then
sit back and enjoy glorious, high-fidelity sound.
