NAD M2 Specifications

Masters Series M2
Direct Digital Amplifier
The World's Most Advanced Direct Digital Amplifier
The NAD M2 Direct Digital Amplifier represents a new level of amplifier performance. Combining the ultra low distortion
and noise levels of the finest linear Class A and Class AB amplifiers with the efficiency and streamlined signal path of
the digital amplifier, the M2 is the first implementation of a new amplifier technology called Direct Digital Feedback.
Co-developed with UK based Diodes Zetex Semiconductor, and using a unique implementation of their patented DDFA
architecture, the M2 redefines what is possible with digital amplifier technology.
The M2 Direct Digital Amplifier represents the culmination of a decade long NAD research project, capped by three
years of intense development. The result fully justifies the investment. We believe that the M2 sets new benchmarks for
both measured performance and subjective musical quality.
Features
> Blinding Speed and Precision
Extremely wide 35-bit data path for Direct Digital
Feedback compensates
information in the original signal. Running from a master
clock frequency of 108MHz there is enough speed to
keep a very wide amplifier bandwidth and very low noise
and distortion in the audio band.
without truncating any
> Stunning Intimacy with the Music
Directly accepting a digital PCM input completely
eliminates the noise and distortion added by cascaded
analogue amplifying stages, as found in traditional Class
AB or even Class D amplifiers. Streamlining the signal
path by eliminating several amplifier stages provides a
feeling of being that much closer to the performers.
