NAD M10 V2 Masters BluOS Streaming Amplifier

Description

NAD Masters M10 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier

Combining a sophisticated music streamer and powerful
100-watt-per-channel amplifier in one super-stylish component, the NAD M10 V2
BluOS Streaming Amplifier is made for the way people listen to music today. The
M10 V2 is based on the acclaimed BluOS multi-room music platform, which has
integrated support for dozens of streaming services. You can cue up any music
you want using the intuitive BluOS app, and hear it in glorious high fidelity
through your favorite loudspeakers, The M10 V2 improves on its award-winning
predecessor by adding a remote control, updated gain algorithms, and an easy
upgrade path to Dolby Digital surround sound.

Just Add (More) Speakers

Like the original M10, the M10 V2 exemplifies the “Just Add
Speakers” revolution in hi-fi. But it takes that revolution a giant step
further. Along with audiophile-grade speaker terminals, it has two independent
subwoofer jacks, whose output settings are adjustable from the BluOS app. The
M10 V2 adds Dolby Digital surround-sound decoding. Home-theatre fans can
configure a pair of BluOS surround-enabled wireless speakers or amplifiers to
play the surround channels, while the main speakers handle the front channels,
so that the M10 V2 serves as the hub of a 4.1- or 4.2-channel Dolby Digital
surround setup. The M10 V2 transmits the rear channels wirelessly, with very
low latency, so you don’t have to run wires around your room to connect the
surround speakers.

Complete Control

There are many ways to operate the M10 V2. Use the BluOS app
on a smartphone, tablet, or computer to cue up music from your favorite
streaming service, or music stored on USB and network drives. Choose some songs
from the Spotify or Tidal app on your computer or smart device, then shift
playback to the M10 V2. Stream music to the M10 V2 from an iPhone, iPad, or
iTunes library via AirPlay 2. Select music by voice using the Amazon Alexa,
Apple Siri, or Google Assistant voice protocol. The M10 V2 is Roon Ready, so
you can stream music from a Roon Core server. The M10 V2 can be integrated into
Apple, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, and other home-automation systems, so you
can control music playback, along with other home systems like lighting, shades,
HVAC, and security. Use the supplied remote control to adjust volume, skip
tracks, and activate preset commands. Or choose tracks, select sources, and
adjust volume and other settings from the M10 V2’s touchscreen. In addition,
the M10 V2 can learn commands from your favorite IR remote control.

The Power and the Glory

Created by the award-winning design firm DF-ID, the M10 V2
features a solid brushed aluminum chassis, Gorilla Glass top and front panels,
and a bright 7″ touchscreen, with purer colors and wider viewing angle than the
screen on the original M10. Behind that gorgeous display lies a sonic
powerhouse that delivers thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail. Based on the
renowned nCore technology, the M10 V2’s Hybrid Digital amplifier is conservatively
rated at 100 watts per channel. Its updated gain algorithms allow higher output
levels with inefficient speakers. The subwoofer outputs also have higher gain,
allowing for a wider range of subwoofer-main speaker combinations. The ESS
Sabre DAC can accept streams up to 24-bit/192kHz. The M10 V2 can stream
lossless and high-resolution audio from services such as Deezer, Qobuz, and
Tidal; and has full MQA hardware decoding and rendering capability.

Room-Friendly

With its compact form factor and elegant minimalist design,
the M10 V2 will blend beautifully into any living space—not just visually, but
sonically as well. Like the original M10, the M10 V2 has built-in Dirac Live
Room Correction. Using the supplied calibrated microphone and intuitive Dirac app,
you can correct peaks and dips caused by your room’s acoustics, up to 500Hz (a
full-bandwidth version is available through Dirac). That way, you hear movie
soundtracks and music as they were meant to be heard, free of anomalies caused
by the listening environment. The M10 V2 can store up to five Dirac profiles
for different listening positions, surround setups, or room conditions—for
example whether the drapes are open or closed.

Thoroughly Modern

The M10 V2 is the perfect amplifier for the Internet era.
With the user-friendly BluOS app, you can play music from your favorite
streaming service, as well as locally stored music. But the M10 V2 also plays
nicely with external components. It has RCA analogue, optical and coaxial
digital, HDMI eARC, and USB Type A inputs, for connecting disc players, game
consoles, external drives, media adapters, flat-panel displays, and other
components. It also features two-way apt-X HD Bluetooth. With the M10 V2, you
can listen through wireless headphones, stereo loudspeakers, a surround-sound
setup, or up to 63 BluOS-capable wireless speakers arrayed throughout your
home. Hi-fi doesn’t get more modern than this.
