Reference-level sound quality – now even better

The NAD M33 V2 raises the bar for integrated amplifiers even higher. Improved signal-to-noise ratio, more precise timing and lower distortion are made possible by new ESS DAC and ADC converters and Dirac Live Bass Control technology. The next-generation Purifi Eigentakt™ Class D amplifier modules deliver exceptional resolution and dynamics – the result is a musical experience that is vivid, emotional and present.

EASY-TO-USE HIGH-PERFORMANCE MUSIC STREAMING

While high-end hi-fi streaming amplifiers are often associated with complexity, the M33 V2 keeps things simple. A 7-inch touchscreen and BluOS platform provide a seamless user interface and multi-room playback. Roon Ready support, MQA decoding, and over 25 paid and free music services – including Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music HD, and Spotify – put the entire world of music at your fingertips. Plus, support for AirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, and local libraries make the M33 V2 a true audio gateway to limitless exploration.

BETTER SOUND WITH NEUROSCIENCE

Research has shown that humans can distinguish timing differences between sounds with an accuracy of up to 7 microseconds. This guides NAD’s signal design. The M33 V2 utilizes a psychoacoustically tuned signal path that improves clarity and reduces listening fatigue. The latest ESS DAC/ADC components and MQA FOQUS and SINC technologies minimize time fading. Combined with Purifi Eigentakt amplification technology, the result is a more accurate and natural listening experience.

DIRAC-LIVE ROOM CORRECTION + BASS MANAGEMENT

The M33 V2 includes Dirac Live Room Correction, and also supports Dirac Live Bass Control with a license, allowing it to adjust the speakers and subwoofers individually – tailoring the sound to your space. Using the included measurement microphone, the system calibrates your space for the best possible sound. Five Dirac profiles allow adjustments to be made for different rooms and music styles.

MODULAR AND VERSATILE

In its basic form, the M33 V2 is a complete system – just add speakers. Built-in HDMI eARC, analog and digital connections, MM/MC turntable preamplifier and balanced XLR connections ensure support for a wide range of sources. Two MDC expansion slots allow for upgrades, such as the MDC USB DSD module. Improved subwoofer outputs make the M33 V2 an excellent option for home theater as well.

HIGH-END PHONO AND HEADPHONE PREAMP

The internal MM/MC phono stage offers precise RIAA correction and a low-pass filter. A separate headphone amplifier is capable of driving demanding headphones, such as planar magnetic models. For Bluetooth listeners, aptX HD transmission is available.

STYLISH TECHNOLOGY

A sturdy aluminum frame and a stylish 7” color touchscreen make the M33 V2 not only a high-quality but also a beautiful part of your home entertainment center. Damped feet improve sound purity by reducing mechanical resonance.

READY FOR SMART HOME

BluOS supports voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. It also integrates directly with smart home systems like Control4, Crestron, KNX, and Lutron. Apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS keep you in control, anytime, anywhere.
