About the D 7050

The NAD D 7050 is a direct digital network amplifier that uses NAD's proprietary Direct Digital™ amplifier technology, which keeps the audio signal in digital form until the final analogue reconstruction filter stage at the speaker outputs. It delivers 50 watts per channel into 4 ohms with very low total harmonic distortion (0.004%) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB. The amplifier supports digital inputs including two optical and two coaxial inputs, and features built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay for wireless streaming. It can handle high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz via digital inputs. The unit is compact and efficient, with a small footprint and cool running operation due to its Class D amplifier design. It includes a 3.5mm headphone output but lacks phono input and subwoofer output. The D 7050 is praised for its natural tonal balance, good imaging, and forgiving sound with lower bitrate files, making it a versatile one-box solution for modern digital music lovers. Dimensions are approximately 236 x 70 x 270 mm, and it weighs about 2.2 kg. It was released around 2014 and carries a 2-year parts and labor warranty.
