Product Description

By adapting to today’s media sources and using state-of-the-art digital technology for the new world of digital music, the NAD D 3020 V2 Integrated Amplifier puts a completely modern spin on a revered icon. The original designer of the 3020, NAD’s Director of Advanced Technology, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, has been pivotal in developing the D 3020 for the new digital generation. Offering an excellent quality 24/192 DAC with 8 channels mixed to 2 for improved resolution, the D 3020 V2 represents the same kind of value-bending innovation that gave the original 3020 its legendary overachieving phono stage.

More Connected

The D 3020 offers inputs for your digital and analogue sources. Coaxial and optical inputs allow many different digital sources to be connected, from CD and DVD players, to set top boxes, media streamers like AppleTV, or satellite and cable receivers. There are also analogue inputs including a sophisticated MM Phono input. Far from just another set of sockets, this Phono stage includes highly accurate RIAA equalization, an Infrasonic Warp Filter, and features both high overload margins and extremely low noise. With V2 we’ve also added a PreOut for increased connectivity in the output stage.

Power that Delivers

Power output may sound small at 30W per channel, but like all NAD amplifiers this is very misleading, as a properly designed 30W amplifier can sound superior to a 100W amplifier from a lesser brand. With its very small form factor, the D 3020 will astound many for its ability to drive difficult loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion.

Real World Performance

NAD rewrote the rules for amplifiers when designing the original 3020. Instead of letting laboratory test equipment have the last word, we made sure that we could properly drive real loudspeakers with real music for the real world. The D 3020 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive™ developed by Edvardsen, that allows low impedance drive (current) and high dynamic power (voltage) at vanishingly low distortion levels. This refinement of PowerDrive combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 sound even more powerful than it already is. An innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.

Stream with Bluetooth

The D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth® capability. Stream all your music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The D 3020 even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth, aptX®, which is becoming ever more popular for its excellent sound quality and low power consumption compared to Wi-Fi.

Mean and Green

The D 3020’s highly efficient design wastes less energy, requiring only 20% of the power needed by traditional Hi-Fi amplifiers. It’s like trading in a gas guzzling car for a hybrid vehicle. Standby power consumption is a miniscule <0.5W. NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption. NAD’s major focus is to find new technology that improves musical performance while consuming less power and using fewer non-renewable resources in manufacturing.

 

Brand

NAD

Recognizing that sound quality and excellent value should coexist, a group of European audio industry experts came together to form NAD Electronics in 1972. Audio engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen started by creating an affordable amplifier that focused purely on good sound. The company headquartered in London soon had the highest-selling amplifier in history: the NAD 3020.

Since then, all NAD products have retained that focus on creating affordable hi-fi solutions that open the experience to all those interested. High-performance cassette decks, CD players, and digital amplifiers followed the NAD 3020. NAD Electronics also contributed industry-leading technology–like Modular Ear Design Construction and SoftClipping–over that time through its dedicated research and development division.

Relish in unrivaled sound through their diverse product line that stays true to their original mission while being a pioneer in digital sound. Not only do they still develop a wide range of amplifiers but also processors, AV receivers, media players, CD players, turntables, and headphonesad headphones.

A go-to for 2-stereo applications is the M23 digital power amplifier that blocks background noise and distortion while delivering up to 380 watts per channel. The M10V2 is perfect for the modern listener---an amplifier and music streamer with up to 100 watts of power per channel.
