CD Section, NAD CD-6 | NAD C521BEE specification

detail retrieving capabilities. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response. High quality 5532 op-amps are used instead of the much lower grade and type normally found at this price level. Apart from the single output capacitor, no other capacitors are used in the signal path. The output impedance is very low at 300 ohms, making the NAD C 521BEE less sensitive to cables or the ancillary equipment it is partnered with.

Not surprisingly, the C 521BEE is an ideal companion to NAD’s award winning amplifier, the C 320BEE.

When combined with any one of a number of excellent moderately priced loudspeakers available today, this combination can offer a level of performance and musical satisfaction far beyond what was possible at any price, only a few short years ago.
