The NAD Electronics M33 Streaming DAC Amplifier represents a significant advancement in audio technology, offering a high-performance streaming amplifier that seamlessly integrates into modern home audio systems. This product is designed to cater to the needs of users who prioritize both top-notch sound quality and technological innovation in their audio equipment.

At its core, the M33 features the new Purifi Eigentakt™ Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, a cutting-edge development in the field of amplification. This technology ensures a minimum output of 200 watts per channel, resulting in a powerful and lifelike audio performance with exceptionally low levels of noise and distortion. This adherence to sound excellence is a testament to NAD’s tradition of embracing and advancing audio technology.

One of the key aspects of the M33 is its incorporation into the BluOS ecosystem. BluOS is a comprehensive software and hardware integration that allows for a wireless, High-Resolution, multi-room audio system. It is unique in its support for the Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) standard for High Res streaming. Additionally, BluOS is compatible with over 20 subscription-based and free music services, as well as personal music libraries. This wide range of compatibility ensures that the M33 is a versatile component that can fit into various digital audio setups.

The device also features advanced room correction capabilities through Dirac, one of the most respected systems in the industry. Unlike other room correction systems, Dirac not only adjusts for frequency response but also optimizes impulse response. This results in a more natural and realistic sound by improving the interaction between speakers and the room’s acoustics. A precision microphone is included for accurate room measurement, allowing for precise system calibration. The M33’s five Dirac memory slots can store different room measurements or frequency target curves, catering to different musical preferences and genres.

In terms of smart home integration, the M33 is designed to seamlessly blend into contemporary living spaces. It offers full integration with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control and is compatible with Apple’s AirPlay 2 for Siri control. Furthermore, it is designed to work with major smart home systems from companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, and KNX, allowing users to control their multi-room music system alongside other smart home features. This compatibility is certified to ensure reliable operation.

The M33 is comprehensive in its range of inputs and outputs, supporting both digital and analogue sources. It features six digital inputs, three analogue inputs, including a Moving Magnet (MM) phono input, bi-wiring capable speaker outputs, and a stereo Subwoofer Output with a digital crossover. Wireless streaming is facilitated via AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth AptX-HD. The MM Phono Input is of high quality, rivaling specialized external units, and is designed to extract the best sound from vinyl records. Additionally, the M33 boasts a discrete headphone amplifier capable of driving a wide range of headphones, including planar and high-impedance studio headphones. The integrated Bluetooth AptX-HD module also allows for the use of wireless headphones.

From a design perspective, the M33 features a robust all-alloy casework, a color LCD touchscreen display, and a simplistic control knob for volume adjustment. The build quality is enhanced by rigid panels and magnetic iso-point feet, providing a solid foundation for the internal components. This design approach not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal but also to the overall performance and durability of the device.

The M33 is future-proofed with two Modular Design Construction (MDC) slots, allowing for updates and expansions as new technologies emerge. This feature reflects NAD’s commitment to longevity and adaptability in their products.
