The NAD M2 Direct Digital Amplifier represents a new level of amplifier performance. Combining the ultra low distortionand noise levels of the finest linear Class A and Class AB amplifiers with the efficiency and streamlined signal path ofthe 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 DDFAarchitecture, 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 threeyears of intense development. The result fully justifies the investment. We believe that the M2 sets new benchmarks forboth measured performance and subjective musical quality.Masters Series M2Direct Digital AmplifierThe World’s Most Advanced Direct Digital Amplifier> Blinding Speed and PrecisionExtremely wide 35-bit data path for Direct DigitalFeedback compensates without truncating anyinformation in the original signal. Running from a masterclock frequency of 108MHz there is enough speed tokeep a very wide amplifier bandwidth and very low noiseand distortion in the audio band.> Stunning Intimacy with the MusicDirectly accepting a digital PCM input completelyeliminates the noise and distortion added by cascadedanalogue amplifying stages, as found in traditional ClassAB or even Class D amplifiers. Streamlining the signalpath by eliminating several amplifier stages provides afeeling of being that much closer to the performers.Features> see Features continued
