Not all digital outputs are equal. In the case of the
NAD C 545BEE, careful attention has been paid so
that best use can be made of the ever increasing
number of products now available with digital inputs
(CD, MD 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. An optical
Toslink output is also provided allowing connection to
devices that only provide this option.The Model C 545BEE comes supplied with the new
NAD CD-8 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 40 tracks can be
programmed. It is possible to delete tracks without
using the program function by simply using the
CLEAR 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
24 bit high resolution Burr Brown Digital-to-Analogue
converter chip was chosen for its excellent low-level
linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. Metal lm
resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response.
High quality Burr Brown OPA2134 op-amps are used
instead of the much lower grade and type used in
lesser players. Apart from the single lm type output
capacitor, no other capacitors are used in the signal
path. The output impedance is very low at 300 ohms,
making the NAD C 545BEE less sensitive to cables or
the ancillary equipment it is partnered with.
We urge you to listen to the NAD C 545BEE with a
wide range of program material and with the best
ancillary equipment to fully appreciate the re nement
of this modest looking -“ and by High End standards
inexpensive -“ CD player. You can spend a lot more
money for a CD player, but we think youll have a
dif cult task nding a more musically complete and
rewarding performance than that offered by the
NAD C 545 BEE. A new benchmark has been set.
