Built to Control the Signal. From Source to Speaker (Section 1 of 5)

At its core, the M66 is about signal integrity. Digital conversion is handled by a flagship ESS SABRE ES9038PRO DAC, handpicked for its exceptional dynamic range, ultra-low noise, and time-domain accuracy. NAD’s proprietary implementation draws out tonal nuance, spatial detail, and micro dynamics without exaggeration or glare. An advanced volume control handles analogue output with extreme precision, maintain accurate channel balance and maximizing dynamic range at any listening level. For the pure analogue listeners, analogue direct mode bypasses digital processing entirely, preserving the true character of external sources.
