The Next Chapter in Clarity (Section 1 of 6)
The M33 V2 builds on everything that made the original M33 iconic and takes it further. With second-generation Eigentakt™ amplifier modules, an ultra-low-noise ESS ES9039PRO DAC, and a newly upgraded ADC, it offers deeper clarity, sharper imaging, and timing so precise the music feels sculpted. Built for those who value control, mastery, and the deep satisfaction of getting every detail exactly right, this is refinement with purpose for those who demand more.

Designed for the Way You Hear (Section 2 of 6)
The M33 V2 is built on a deeper understanding of how we actually hear. Modern neuroscience shows we perceive time differences in sound down to microseconds, and every stage of the signal path is designed with that in mind. With MQA Labs’ FOQUS and QRONO technologies, paired with NAD’s psychoacoustic tuning, timing distortion is reduced to near silence. It’s the kind of clarity and precision where every note arrives exactly when it should.

Designed with the Future in Mind (Section 3 of 6)
Like its predecessor, the M33 V2 features NAD’s Modular Design Construction (MDC) platform, with two expansion slots that keep your system adaptable as technologies evolve. This future-ready design is housed in a refined aluminium chassis with iso-point magnetic feet. It’s timeless by design and engineered to move forward with you.

Nothing Between You and the Music (Section 4 of 6)
The M33 V2 doesn’t make you choose between sound quality and flexibility. It delivers both. With BluOS
multi-room streaming, native support for TIDAL, Qobuz, and Amazon Music HD, and additional connection options via AirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, Roon, and HDMI eARC, it integrates effortlessly into daily life. Control feels natural, not technical, through a responsive 7" touchscreen and an interface designed to disappear into the listening experience.

Sound that Fits Your Space Perfectly (Section 5 of 6)
Dirac Live now supports
optional Bass Control, enabling individual calibration of mains and subwoofers.
Using a high-resolution calibration mic, it fine-tunes both frequency and
impulse response to suit the unique acoustics of your space. The soundscape unfolds
with sculpted ease, as if the room itself were purpose-built for listening.
Boundaries fade, and what remains is pure musical satisfaction.

Where Every Format Finds Its Voice (Section 6 of 6)
From a high-performance MM/MC phono stage to balanced XLR, the M33 V2 honours every signal path with intention. The phono stage is crafted for serious collectors, offering precision RIAA equalisation, infrasonic filtering, and generous overload margin. A discrete headphone amplifier powers even planar magnetics with authority. Dual subwoofer outputs, HDMI eARC, and balanced pre-outs ensure seamless integration, while every source is rendered with exacting care and full musical fidelity.
