NAD Electronics has debuted two products at the High End Munich audio exhibition in Germany.
Following the M33 and M23, the manufacturer releases the M33 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier and the M23 V2 Stereo Power Amplifier to advance the Masters Series.
These products aim to deliver digital architecture, refined sonic performance and enhanced connectivity.
M33 V2 – Musical integrity
The new M33 V2 features MQA Labs' new FOQUS and QRONO technologies, an ESS SABRE ES9039PRO DAC, next-generation ESS ADC, and Gen 2 Purifi Eigentakt amplifier modules.
Cas Oostvogel, NAD’s product manager, said: “NAD is the first company to address psychoacoustic timing issues along the entire signal path.
“With the M33 V2, we’ve eliminated distortion not just in the traditional sense, but in the way human ears actually perceive sound timing—delivering a listening experience that's more nuanced, more accurate, and more emotionally engaging.”
FOQUS (ADC) and QRONO (DAC) from MQA Labs ensure accurate signal conversion while the new ESS ES9039PRO DAC achieves ultra-low distortion.
Dirac Live Bass Control also delivers precise subwoofer integration and optimised room response, supported by XLR pre-outs and higher subwoofer output level.
The amplifier features BluOS multi-room streaming, Apple AirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, HDMI eARC and support for smart home platforms.
M23 V2: Authoritative dynamics
The M23 V2 contains updated Eigentakt modules from Purifi and system-friendly enhancements.
Capable of delivering 200W per channel (8 ohms) or 700W bridged, the M23 V2 can be integrated with the M33 V2 or M66 preamp as a system.
The new 12V trigger output with timed delay simplifies daisy-chaining of multiple amps and prevents surge spikes.
Furthermore, balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs enable integration into a wide range of setups.
Output doubles in mono mode for maximum system headroom.
Synergy
Used together, the M33 V2 and M23 V2 offer an end-to-end NAD system epitomising the Masters Series.
Oostvogel added: “The future of hi-fi lies not just in lowering distortion, but in understanding how humans perceive sound.
“We’ve optimised timing—from file source, to DAC, to amplifier, to your room. That’s where the magic and true enjoyment happens.”
