It uses a Wolfson 24-bit/192 kHz DAC, a precision clocking system, and a toroidal-transformer power supply. The player provides stereo RCA analogue output plus coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital outputs, allowing use either as a complete CD player or as a CD transport with an external DAC. It has a front USB-A port for compatible WAV, MP3 and WMA files (up to 384 kbps stated for compressed files), a VFL display with CD-Text support, programmable playback for up to 20 tracks, repeat/random functions, IR input, and 12 V trigger input. It is an older/discontinued model rather than part of NAD’s current CD-player range.
