Description
The NAD M10 is a high-resolution streaming amplifier we’re using to power our DynAudio Emits, DynAudio Evokes, PSB P3/P5’s, or whatever other speakers you own. It can perform the same functions that once required a rack full of components, but it’s more proficient in many ways. It’s also probably the prettiest darn thing I’ve seen on the planet.
It’s a full-touch screen amplifier with no source or volume knob. This is version two of the M10, which sounds great right out of the box with no calibration needed. The same binding post that you’ll find on the NAD M33 is on this one - making it part of the Master’s series.
When you receive this, you’ll see that it comes double-boxed. I won’t take away the enjoyment of removing it from the NAD box; I want you to experience the Apple-like packaging yourself - it’s freaking cool.
NAD has changed the sound signature with the M10, which sounds different but better than the previous version. It delivers a solid 100 watts per channel into 8 or 4 ohms (20-20,000Hz) at 0.03% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).
The M10 is a premium amplifier, so you should expect it to come at a premium price. If you compare the cost of this to the NAD 388, this one will be more mainly because you’ll be getting the Dirac Live Full Room Correction. A microphone is included with this, which will allow you to run a full, 20+ point room calibration that works really well. You’d just plug this into the USB output on the back of the amplifier.
