NAD M66 Streaming Preamp with Dirac & 4 Sub Outs!

[@JustinSewell]

I have had my M66 since January running through my M23 amp to my GoldenEar Triton 1s. The Dirac on really does open up the sound stage. Would recommend the NAD setup to anyone.

Amazing unit.

[@carlesjuliavallmajo3812]

Well done man , good work !

[@r2d3vadar92]

I prefer Olive oil, first press cold press extra virgin form Kalamata vs snake oil.

[@TheoNicolakis]

I’d agree with that. Nothing beats Greek olive oil!

[@junior-OG]

can you try if home theater bypass work ?

[@TheoNicolakis]

Yes I hope to cover that in the review. The home theater bypass feature was not released at the time of this particular unboxing.

@@TheoNicolakisHi did NAD give you a time frame when this feature will be implemented ? It’s been promised for over 9 months now and still not ready

[@CarlVanDoren61]

Dac Direct, no preamp 😊 JLA cr-1 active crossover Rel Carbon Specials 😊

I would be really interested to see how this compares to Cambridge Audios Edge NQ network streamer and Edge M monoblocks👍😎

[@Dave30867]

No comparison the NAD is built to last .

What’s inside????? 🤔

A lot of empty space.

No DSD support? Lost me on that.

[@Audioholics]

@@Roscoeverdin5469 DSD is automatically converted to PCM on every product once you apply bass management. I listen to SACD on products that convert to PCM, no issues.

[@Roscoeverdin5469]

@@Audioholics interesting. DSD is converted to PCM. Why then have SACDs? PCM is not the same as DSD. I am surprised I received this response from a audiophile publication.

[@Audioholics]

@Roscoeverdin5469 DSD is not at all better than PCM. Most mixing consoles conver to PCM anyway. I love SACD bc the care involved in production. PCM is technically superior and why nobody uses DSD anymore.

[@Roscoeverdin5469]

@@Audioholics If you say so.

[@seandang]

This unit is almost $6k, but so light the dude handles it with one arm. That tells me the internals are garbage.

[@MasterHWilson]

it’s called Class D amplification and it outperforms most Class A and AB

[@dixieflatline1189]

@@seandang that's soo funny. Heavy = high quality 😂

[@Osuna..]

​@@MasterHWilsonNo en sonido. La clase AB suena mejor.

[@SastusBulbas1]

@@Osuna.. No, that is simply myth, all amplifiers can sound different, but many class A and A/B amps have pretty bad distortion when you increase volume, some are great, Benchmark as an example, so not as simply as one design means all sound better. The M66 doesnt contain a class D amplifier though, its the processing unit, it's the M23 that contains the amplification. Reading and learning can work wonders. As for weight, and claiming it shows internals are garbage, no, it simply shows an idiot just had a brain fart with no idea what he was actually saying. Maybe stick to your meds.

[@TheoNicolakis]

It’s only a preamp.
