NAD Unveils M10 V3 BluOS Streaming Amplifier

Featuring a full-colour touchscreen display and brushed aluminium chassis, the new M10 V3 features 100 watts per channel of nCore amplification and an industry-leading ESS SABRE ES9039 DAC that NAD says "delivers incredible dynamic range and ultra-low distortion". The new M10 V3 is also ready to support Dirac Live Bass Control for bass management in multi-subwoofer setups.

Cas Oostvogel, Product Manager at NAD Electronic, told StereoNET:

The original M10 was first introduced in 2019, and it was well beyond our expectations in design and performance. The M10 V3 builds on this success through the advancement of new DAC technology and blending the convenience of modern music streaming with the rich listening experience of vinyl.

According to the company, the HybridDigital amplifier with nCore technology delivers 100 watts of Continuous Power (into 8 and 4 Ohms) and a remarkable 160 watts of Dynamic Power (8 Ohms) with virtually zero noise or distortion. There's also a full panel of inputs and outputs to connect any source, including a new dedicated MM phono input that adds RIAA equalization for vinyl playback.

In addition to a USB Type-A input for connecting a computer or music drive, RCA stereo, Optical, and Coaxial are also available for both analogue and digital sources. It is also equipped with HDMI eARC for enhanced audio while watching TV and enjoying shows, movies, and games.  

With BluOS, the M10 V3 can be controlled from any smartphone, tablet, or desktop. It can stream popular music streaming services, internet radio stations, and personal music libraries stored on any network drive or computer. Stream hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz and connect to other BluOS-enabled speakers and audio systems for a multi-room music experience throughout the home.

With Dirac Live Room Correction and Bass Control, users can measure their room acoustics and eliminate standing waves, reverberations, and other unwanted distortions. Dirac Live Bass Control is available as an upgrade, allowing users to optimize the subwoofer outputs in both time and frequency to deliver a smooth and seamless response between the subwoofers and main speakers. The new and included BC1 Remote Control features an EQ button for selecting programmed Dirac filter profiles. 

Cas added:

With Dirac Live Bass Control available on the NAD M10 V3, we've seamlessly integrated Dirac's advanced bass management algorithms to ensure optimized performance and the most precise and immersive low-frequency experience. Our partnership with Dirac exemplifies our commitment to elevating audio quality, providing listeners with unparalleled sound clarity and depth for stereo and home theatre.

The NAD Electronics M10 V3 will be previewed at the CEDIA Expo in Denver, Colorado, September 5-7, 2024. It is understood to be available globally starting in autumn and will sell for £1,999/ €2,499, including the new BC1 Remote Control.
