More than four decades after being founded in 1972 as New Acoustic Dimensions by industry professionals determined to better mass-market designs, NAD still adheres to its three main original principles—performance, value, and simplicity. Having been bestowed awards around the globe, the Canadian company approaches products with a listener-first mentality, putting the most important details inside and realizing that the sound that comes out matters most. A REVISED CLASSIC MADE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY NAD D 3020 Integrated Amplifier “Like the 3020 before it, this integrated is sonic gold.” — HiFi News, Outstanding Product review NAD C 316BEE Integrated Amplifier Many listeners fondly recall the NAD 3020, the integrated amp discussed with legendary praise since the early 80s when it functioned as a centerpiece for untold college-aged music lovers. It set new benchmarks for a budget–priced amplifier. A recipient of The Absolute Sound’s $379 Editors’ Choice Award, C 316BEE follows in its footsteps. The only difference between the two? C 316BEE sounds much better! Its 40 watts of power with class-leading specs for noise, distortion, stereo imaging, and detail retrieval means you can’t do better for under $400! The Absolute Sound Editors’ Choice Bringing music to life in your home has been NAD’s goal long before the first 3020 integrated amp left the company’s factory more than 40 years ago. Why resurrect that heralded product now? You’ll hear why the instant you plug-in D 3020. It looks different, but that’s because it is different—a modern form factor paired with modern features. A great-sounding amplifier first, D 3020 also comes equipped with a 24-bit/96kHz DAC, aptX Bluetooth music streaming, a fantasticsounding headphone amplifier, and much more. The original 3020 changed the landscape for audiophiles on a budget. D 3020 is currently doing the same.
