recorders, computer sound cards, outboard D to A converters, etc.). Unusually at this price point, the coaxial output is buffered and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise 75 ohms impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream. The Model C525BEE comes supplied with the NAD CD-6 full function remote control, offering all of the features described above from the comfort of your listening chair. On top of that, the remote control handset gives you direct track access and programming facilities, as well, saving the users time when theyre storing preferred song titles. Up to 20 tracks can be programmed. It is possible to delete tracks without using the program function by simply using the delete key. Separate power regulators for the digital and analog sections isolate the two electrically, reducing interference effects. Furthermore, careful layout of the PCB tracks around the Digital-to-Analogue converter helps to contain RF radiation and interference. The 20 bit high resolution Burr-Brown S-D Digital- to-Analogue converter chip was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response. High quality Burr Brown op-amps are used instead of the much lower grade and type normally found at this price level. Apart from the single film type output capacitor, no other capacitors are used in the signal path. The output impedance is very low at 300 ohms, making the NAD C525BEE less sensitive to cables or the ancillary equipment it is partnered with. Not surprisingly, the C525BEE is an ideal companion to NADs newest amplifier, the C325BEE. 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.
