A while back I tossed up between the C389 with BlueOS and M10 but I went with the M10. Similar performance with different packaging, both fabulous. No regrets.
I made a similar decision. M 10v.3 just arrived. I set ut up on the table to visualize how it will look, but it is not room corrected yet. Sounds great just out of the box, but I"'ve got to do the Dirac and sub setup before I pass final judgement. First impressions. I've had some good amps and receivers, but none can reach the clarity of this unit. It's a little lean on some vocal tracks, and if you've got a bad recording, you are going to hear a bad recording. Otherwise, it makes for the best amplifier I've ever owned. It's my end game unit and I couldn't be happier. It pairs beautifully with my Synchrony 1b's. I was torn between the MDC module upgrade path or the simplicity of the M10. At my age, I'm not too worried about upgradability and if I"m still listening ten years down the road, I'll add a current outboard. Bluos streamer.
Have you caught wind of all the T778s that have been failing? It’s 3 years old and the amp modules have blown. I went online and saw in NAD groups that this is a well known and common problem. When I reach out to them, they told me I’m out of luck and that my $3000 paper weight is out of warranty!! WTH
I love my $1k Parasound 2125v2 but I upgraded to the $2400 NAD C298 (same Purifi module as NAD M23) which sounds even better. Music=Apple Music lossless
When you ask "the best all in one?" in the title of this video, but you do not answer it, because there is no comparison with the competition like Cambridge, Naim or Linn, how would you know? Please refrain from such Clickbait.
Yes it does. It has optical and coaxial inputs that you can use from either a CD player or CD transport. It also has 2 analog inputs if you want to use the internal DAC of your CD player.
What else could they be? Distortion is anything that alters the signal in a manner that takes away from fidelity. For example, if your room tends to excite certain frequencies, and they come through louder than all the others, that's a distortion. You're moving away from a flat response. If you are thinking that distortion means something like a blown woofer that sounds bad because its breaking up, you would be correct. But that's just one type of distortion. There are many others.
You’re a very good reviewer and I respect your writing capabilities. But pretty pretty please quick tongue and lip smacking. It’s extremely potent in its ear piercing abilities lol. I had to find another video to watch. I think your mic probably doesn’t help
