NAD C 589: CD Player with Thoughtfully Designed Analog Output
The NAD C 589 is a CD player for stereo systems that showcases its sophisticated signal processing particularly through the analog outputs. Dynamic Digital Headroom and the selectable QRONO-d2a filter focus on distortion headroom and timing precision.
Key Features at a Glance
- DDH reduces distortion in highly dynamic CDs
- Selectable QRONO-d2a filter for digital-to-analog conversion
- RCA and balanced XLR outputs, as well as three digital connections
More Headroom for Demanding Recordings
Dynamic Digital Headroom reduces distortion caused by signal peaks between sample points. QRONO d2a supports precise timing during conversion; both features can be selected using the remote control.
Compatible with Existing Systems
Analog RCA and balanced XLR outputs connect the player directly to the amplifier. Alternatively, it can be connected to an external DAC via optical, coaxial, or AES/EBU connections; the trigger and infrared input make it easy to integrate into existing control systems.
Suitability and Important Information
Who is this CD player suitable for?
- CD collectors who want to make targeted use of the integrated conversion in their stereo system
- Systems with balanced analog connections or a separate DAC
Important Information
- Leave at least 10 cm of free space on the sides, back, and top for ventilation.
Conclusion
The C 589 is aimed at CD enthusiasts who want to treat their collection to a carefully designed analog source. Its versatile outputs leave the choice between integrated conversion and an external DAC open.
