NAD has been at the forefront of affordable, great sounding H-Fi since it was formed in the 1970s. This CD player comes from a long line of highly rated machines and it won many awards in its day. For those interested, it uses a Texas Instruments Burr Brown delta-sigma DAC. This creates the typical NAD sound which is beautifully clean and clear whilst at the same time having a warmth rarely associated with digital playback. If youre used to listening to Spotify, the fulness and power of this little CD player will be a revelation. Within the range, this CD player sits above the entry level C521 models and the sophistication of the sound is a step above these players. If you happen to have any HDCDs, then you’ll be in for a real treat with this player. This is a specialist format which shouldn’t be confused with SACD. This one is in excellent original condition considering its age. I have given a thorough clean inside and out before giving it a full service including cleaning and deoxiting all of the micro-switches, lubricating the mechanisms and replacing the laser and drive belt for the draw mechanism. This machine has also had the laser control chip replaced. Not a common failing but once in a blue moon this can be a cause of skipping. It now moves effortlessly between tracks and plays beautifully. It’s a rare machine amongst the many NAD CD players on this platform, made more so by its complete service. NAD makes a remote control for the CD player, however, I DO NOT have one for this player. It will be shipped in a new, double wall cardboard box via ParcelForce to a UK home address only please. ParcelForce are more reliable than the usual eBay couriers however, if it arrives in anything other than the condition I have described, please contact me immediately. I will require photographic evidence of the box and CD player before issuing a refund as I cannot make a claim against the courier without it. I also cannot provide a refund if you simply change your mind.
