In a significant boost for audiophiles seeking seamless integration of high-performance audio and advanced room optimization, NAD Electronics has announced that its popular C 700 and C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifiers are now officially certified for Dirac Live Room Correction. This certification ensures that both models adhere to Dirac’s rigorous technical standards, allowing users to harness the full potential of this cutting-edge technology for an elevated listening experience.
Dirac Live stands out as one of the most sophisticated digital room correction solutions on the market. Employing patented algorithms, it meticulously analyzes the acoustic characteristics of any room and applies precise corrections. The result? Enhanced sound imaging, deeper and more controlled bass, and overall audio reproduction that’s remarkably accurate—often rivaling the performance of far more elaborate systems.
Dirac Live Room Correction further strengthens the C 700 and C 700 V2’s position as category leaders for stereo streaming amplifiers, stated Cas Oostvogel, NAD Product Manager. By enabling this leading technology, we’re offering listeners a significant upgrade in audio fidelity and room tuning flexibility—further proof of NAD’s commitment to delivering high-end performance in an elegant, user-friendly package.
A Modern Classic: The NAD C 700
Launched in 2021, the NAD C 700 was crafted as a compact powerhouse tailored for the streaming era. Encased in a sleek aluminum chassis with a vibrant high-resolution color display, it offers intuitive control through the BluOS app. At its core is NAD’s HybridDigital UcD amplifier, delivering 2 x 80 watts of robust power to handle even challenging speaker loads with exceptional dynamics and clarity. Built-in support for BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, and other services has solidified the C 700 as a benchmark in compact, high-fidelity streaming amplification.
Building on Excellence: The NAD C 700 V2
Introduced in 2024, the C 700 V2 elevates the original’s foundation with targeted improvements. Beyond the new Dirac Live compatibility, it features an enhanced ESS SABRE DAC and refined circuitry for superior resolution and an expansive soundstage. A dedicated phono input caters to vinyl enthusiasts, while BluOS-enabled surround sound capabilities add versatility, transforming this two-channel amp into a scalable option for immersive audio setups. These refinements position the V2 as an ideal choice for discerning listeners who prioritize performance alongside minimalist aesthetics.
This Dirac Live certification is available immediately for both models, with users able to purchase a full license for comprehensive room calibration. For those invested in optimizing their audio environments without compromising on convenience, the C 700 series continues to set a high bar in the world of streaming amplifiers.
