It really only matters for certain when bi-amping. Otherwise you at least need some specific cable in which there are appreciable differences in the "bass" wire and "treble" wire. Such as gauge, conductor material, and geometry, not so much with what I had here.
Hi there! Ive got a Marantz Nr1711 which has pre out for front speakers, would I be able to connect the C700 as my amp? And would it have HT bypass then? Maybe id be able to use it to offload the slimline Marantz if I would go 5.1? Thanks alot
Yeah it has the cool meters. It has a screen, pre out, coaxial input, optical input, and 2 analog RCA inputs. Seems worth it to me because I want something that I can connect my turntable and CD player to. If you just listen to music through streaming then I’d say the Powernode is fine.
I'm not actually interested in streaming services, but I would like to play all the flacs I have on a USB hard drive from all the CDs I've ripped. I also don't like smart phones, so would it be feasible to play and explore these files on the screen on the streamer rather than on a phone or tablet?
Not on the C700, the screen is useful but it is not something I'd want to use as a primary control. We are picking up a new product soon though that I think would do what you want nicely. I'll share more once I can.
Thanks so much for a great video! Sorry about being late to viewing this video. Does NAD in the C700 or M10, or any other models show you the resolution (bit rate/ Sampling frequency) as the the track is playing? This may seem a bit picky, but I do like to know what resolution the music is being streamed at? Thank you.
Hi Sir I am interested with the NAD C700 Steaming Audio Player for this Nad if I connect with Kef wireless Speaker which Kef Wireless speaker can you suggest and recommended thank for yr feedback,
So you wouldn't use the C700 with "wireless" speakers as they do not require a separate amp. I'd recommend something like Sonus Faber Luminas or Totem Acoustic Skys to pair with it.
@@GramophoneMD The principal benefit of bi-wiring is removing those crappy jumpers from the signal path. It only matters if you want good sound, otherwise, you may do as you please.
@@danpangione Honestly at this level it doesn't much matter, that said this was setup just for the video anyway, I didn't want to risk losing the jumpers. Little things like that just seem to scatter like spooked wildlife in a retail environment.
