recorders, computer sound cards, outboard D to A converters,
etc.). Unusually at this price point, the coaxial output is buffered
and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself and the
output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise
75 ohms impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention
to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise
distort the digital data stream.
The Model C525BEE comes supplied with the NAD CD-6 full
function remote control, offering all of the features described above
from the comfort of your listening chair. On top of that, the remote
control handset gives you direct track access and programming
facilities, as well, saving the users time when theyre storing
preferred song titles. Up to 20 tracks can be programmed. It is
possible to delete tracks without using the program function by
simply using the delete key.
Separate power regulators for the digital and analog sections
isolate the two electrically, reducing interference effects.
Furthermore, careful layout of the PCB tracks around the
Digital-to-Analogue converter helps to contain RF radiation and
interference. The 20 bit high resolution Burr-Brown S-D Digital-
to-Analogue converter chip was chosen for its excellent low-level
linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. Metal film resistors and
polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly
accurate frequency response. High quality Burr Brown op-amps
are used instead of the much lower grade and type normally found
at this price level. Apart from the single film type output capacitor,
no other capacitors are used in the signal path. The output
impedance is very low at 300 ohms, making the NAD C525BEE
less sensitive to cables or the ancillary equipment it is partnered
with.
Not surprisingly, the C525BEE is an ideal companion to NADs
newest amplifier, the C325BEE. When combined with any one of
a number of excellent moderately priced loudspeakers available
today, this combination can offer a level of performance and
musical satisfaction far beyond what was possible at any price,
only a few short years ago.
