The NAD C 516BEE is a compact disc player engineered for musicality and simplicity, replacing the popular NAD C 515BEE. It features the latest generation Cirrus Logic 24/192 Sigma/Delta D/A converters for accurate dynamics and a finely-tuned analog stage with audio-specific OP Amps for lower distortion and accurate musical sound. The player supports CD, CD-R/W playback and decodes MP3 and WMA files copied to CD-R for up to 10 hours of continuous play. It includes convenient features such as repeat function (1 song, 1 disc, or A-B repeat), program play with remote access, forward/reverse skip and search functions, and an informative VFD display. The compact industrial design complements the NAD C 316BEE integrated amplifier. Standby power consumption is reduced to less than 0.5 watts, allowing full-function remote control while saving energy.
