Offering 24 bit resolution and up to 192kHz sampling
rate, this DAC is a perfect complement to our Sample
Rate Converter.
Although the Signal to Noise Ratio of this DAC is
speci ed at a very high 128dB, we use two of them
in a Dual Differential con guration for even better
performance.
But just having premium parts is no guarantee of
performance. We use ultra clean multiple regulated
power supplies to feed the different types of circuits
and mechanical parts that make up the C 565BEE.
Careful circuit layouts, short signal paths, and rigorous
attention to every detail insure that performance
is maximized. Because the Sample Rate Converter
pushes the sampling frequency very high, we can use
a better sounding digital lter with less group delay.
This lter also has a user selectable roll off slope to
allow ne tuning by ear.
The analogue circuitry too must be at the cutting
edge of performance. NAD uses the best quality FET
audio OpAmps selected for their very wide bandwidth
and low noise. Able to deliver ample current and
with a very low source impedance, the C 565BEE is
less sensitive to cable capacitance.
Features
The C 565BEEs superb digital and analogue
performance can also be applied to other types of
media besides CD. The rear panel optical digital
input caters to a wide variety of digital playback
devices and the front panel USB port allows music
les stored on a USB Memory Key or USB Hard
Disc Drive to be played back using the superior
performance capability of the C 565BEE. MP3
and WMA as well as uncompressed WAV les are
fully supported whether they are stored on CD-R,
digital tape or mini-disc or USB storage device. Source
inputs are easily selectable from either the front panel
or via the supplied IR remote.
CD Text and Metadata from MP3 les is displayed on
the front panel two line display, along with time, track,
and other program data simultaneously. Display icons
indicate selected input, lter slope and sampling rate.
We have also designed the front panel controls to
make it faster and easier to browse large collections of music les by adding a rotary knob that controls both
skip and play/pause functions. Twist the knob
clockwise and you skip forward; counterclockwise
skips back. Push the knob to initiate play. It is so
intuitive to operate that youll soon wonder how you
lived before without it.
Green Features
NAD has responded quickly and responsibly to the new
awareness of environmental damage caused by human
activity. The C 565BEE is manufactured without the
heavy metals that have been identi ed as harmful to
the environment and manufacturing processes meet
the latest stringent international standards. Standby
power consumption is best in class at <1 watt.
Value
Purchasing the C 565BEE, with its expanded capabilities,
is much more than just buying a new CD Player. Not
only does it make an instant improvement in the
sound of every CD in your collection, but also it allows
the introduction of new media into your stereo system
via the USB input.
The convenience of database storage with audiophile
sound quality is an addictive combination! Quickly
browsing and selecting from the expanded possibilities
of new media makes listening to music on your stereo
more enjoyable than ever before.
We encourage you to compare the performance of the
C 565BEE to CD players costing twice as much and
more. The expertise and experience of NADs design
engineers makes the difference. Innovative design and
faultless execution, combined with NADs philosophy
of frill-free simplicity, result in superb performance
and value.
