Nad M10 BLUOS Streaming Amplifier

REDUCED PRICE!!

I was tempted to give this Nad Masters M10 BluOS integrated amplifier a 10/10 rating since it has very little use and is cosmetically and functionally perfect. In addition to the myriad of features detailed below the hybrid digital N-core amplifier which holds its own with the top power amplifiers now on the market.

The HybridDigital™ amplification technology features the remarkable Hypex nCore amplification stage outputting 100 watts per channel and offering state-of-the-art performance along with the ability to drive any loudspeaker. Highly efficient and remarkably powerful, this technology can render even the subtlest of musical details with vivid realism. Effortless dynamics, with legendary clarity and sonic depth and a complete absence of electronic noise are hallmarks of this advanced technology.

A high-performance Class D solution first employed in NAD Masters’ flagship amplifiers, HybridDigital™ takes the best of digital and analogue amplification technologies to deliver the accuracy and detail that digital amplifiers are known for without losing the heart and emotion of analogue amplifiers. Conservatively rated at 100 watts per channel and with a sophisticated DAC on board, the M10 can drive nearly any high-end speaker to reproduce the full frequency and dynamic range of your favourite music without noise or distortion.

BluOS is the most advanced network streaming and multi-room operating system available. Part of a growing ecosystem of compatible products, BluOS tightly integrates hardware and software for an unbeatable user experience. BluOS supports the new standard for high res lossless streaming, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA). With support for over 15 free and paid subscription services, as well as supporting locally stored music libraries, BluOS makes the M10 incredibly versatile. Adding additional rooms is easy and affordable using Bluesound’s all-in-one speakers, or you can add premium components from NAD, DALI, and others to provide amazing sound throughout your home.

By ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the BluOS App, one need never touch the M10 in order to listen to your favourite songs. As you approach the M10, the high-resolution touch screen beckons as the graphic changes from ‘now playing’ to ‘control panel’ allowing many operations directly from the front panel without opening an app. It also shows what’s currently playing and what is coming up next in the play queue.

The  M10 is fully compatible with today’s leading smart home systems from companies such as Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, and many others. This means that along with your lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, you can seamlessly control your BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface. All of our integrations are certified for reliable operation. We also have custom BluOS apps for iOS and Android mobile devices and tablets, as well as desktop control from Windows and Apple OS.

Add the BluOS Voice Skill inside the Amazon Alexa app and enjoy hands-free voice control of personal music collections, streaming services and more using a list of simple streamlined commands. Using an Echo device you can ask Alexa to play popular songs from Tidal, queue up saved playlists, adjust the volume in different rooms, or ask what’s playing in the Kitchen. No Echo device and want to try it out? No problem. Download the Amazon Alexa app, activate the skill, tap the speech bubble in the bottom drawer of the Amazon Alexa app and say anything from the list of commands.

In addition to providing Stereo Line Inputs and Coax/Optical Inputs for playing all types of media, the M10 includes Dirac Live Room correction to adjust the sound to the specifics of your room.

The NAD M10 represents a new kind of high-end audio system that is luxurious and smart, but very discreet. It can perform the same functions that once required a rack full of components and in many ways is superior. The elegant form factor takes up very little space and can even be hidden away, but the beautiful design

by award winning design firm DF-ID, takes a minimalist theme to new levels of elegance. The slender proportions are enhanced by authentic materials including solid brushed aluminum and smooth glass. The completely operable and colorful display will encourage you to place the M10 front and center.

“It took a while for NAD to enter the world of all-in-one network music solutions, but the M10 was worth every moment of the wait, for this sensational little amplifier is also a complete ‘just add speakers’ music system. The dramatic full-width touchscreen display sets the tone, allowing you to access the full range of the M10’s capabilities. These include streaming music services, with BluOS allowing multiroom playback with Bluesound products, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2, plus digital and analogue inputs, an HDMI-ARC connection for TV sound, and even Dirac Live room correction to optimise the sound. Finally, with NAD’s HybridDigital amplification on board, the M10 will drive virtually any partnering speaker – it is a true master of modern music playback.“

I am the original owner and will ship the M10 in its original factory carton with manual and the Direc accessories. Buyer should add $100 to help cover shipping costs, Audiogon fees and PayPal fees.
