NAD D 3045 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier

Description

The NAD D 3045 is everything a modern amplifier should be;
compact, energy efficient, powerful, silent, High Resolution capable, and
packed with cutting edge features like DSD and MQA playback. NAD’s expertise in
both digital and analog engineering is on full display in this flexible and
affordable amplifier.

D 3045 Hybrid Digital Amplifier

HIGHER FIDELITY

High Res is to audio, what High Definition is to video. It
is more lifelike and natural, and an altogether more enjoyable listening
experience. With features like Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) the D 3045
can faithfully and accurately reproduce the full spectrum of sound encapsulated
on the Studio Master. Until now, music lovers have only been allowed to hear an
edited version of the full fidelity because our delivery systems, be it tape,
vinyl, or CD, did not have the capacity to hold all the information contained
in the Studio Master recording. With High Res downloads and streaming we can
now enjoy exactly the same experience the artist heard in the studio when the
recording was first made.

AMAZING CAPABILITY

We recognize that just because there is a new better format
available doesn’t mean your present music collection will be discarded – far
from it. So we have included all the inputs and circuits required to listen to
all your current music, while also possessing the capability to fully exploit
today’s best High Res sources. Especially notable is the Asynchronous USB input
for attaching a computer which allows High Res streaming using one of the
several High Res programs like Roon, JRiver, and Amarra. Asynchronous operation
uses the D 3045’s precision clock (instead of the computers clock) to reduce
jitter to a minimum and make the USB format work ideally for audio. For
everyday convenience we have included Bluetooth wireless streaming featuring
aptX HD, the latest 24-bit High Res version of Bluetooth that is being
supported by more and more phones and tablets. Additionally, if you have
Bluetooth headphones, you can also stream your non-Bluetooth sources wirelessly
to your headphones, or you can plug in your wired headphones to enjoy the
exceptional performance of our low impedance, high current, Headphone
Amplifier.

FEATURES YOU WON’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE

Love vinyl? The D 3045 features NAD’s super accurate, wide
dynamic range, Moving Magnet Phono preamp to extract every last morsel of sound
from your LPs. If you still play CDs, we have both analog and digital inputs.
The digital inputs allow use of the advanced High Res DAC built into the D
3045. You can even send the sound from your TV to the NAD and seamlessly
control the system using your TV’s remote by taking advantage of the HDMI ARC
input. Complete your system by adding a subwoofer with the convenient Sub Out
jack.

PERFORMANCE AND PRICE

The NAD D 3045 includes advanced capabilities usually only
found in far more expensive components. High Res USB DACs? They start at about
3X the price of the D 3045. High Current headphone amplifiers start at the
price of the D 3045 and go up from there. Power Amps featuring 60wpc and with
the low distortion and high current capability of the D 3045 are rare at this
price. Yet all these products are wrapped into one compact, energy efficient,
and convenient package engineered by one of audio’s most iconic brands. 45
years of audio excellence is on full display with this innovative and versatile
component. Just add your favourite music source and a great set of speakers to
enjoy many years of sonic bliss.
