levels of DVD, CD and SACD sound quality. Digital audio outputs are available in both coaxial, and optical (TosLink) SPDIF formats, as well as I/2 S digital format via the HDMI output. DVD-Audio uses the Dolby licensed MLP lossless compression to produce PCM formatted high resolution signals with 24 bits and up to 192kHz sample rates. MLP perfectly shrinks the very high data rates of DVD-Audio – up to 13.8 Mbps – to the DVD limit of 9.6 Mbps without losing any data. This compares with data rates of approximately 1.5 Mbps for CD, and as little as 0.03 Mbps for MP3 encoded audio. Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic decoding is also included, as is support for MP3 and Windows Media Audio. The NAD T585 uses audiophile quality 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A converters. These devices are well protected from noise caused by even minute fluctuations in current from the power supply. The level of quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform for all frequencies and very well suppressed. This D/A converter ensures that all the sound you hear is as clear and noise-free as possible. High speed FET output devices keep all the detail present in high resolution SACD and DVD-Audio formats, perfectly intact. Digital Bass Management is available for all surround sound formats. This prevents bass frequencies from overloading and distorting your speakers by redirecting them to your subwoofer which is specially designed to handle the lowest octaves. When playing DVD-Video, DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD sources, it is possible to preset speaker configurations. The crossover point is selectable with 12 dB high and 24 dB low pass filter slopes. The NAD T585 is also equipped with SRSs True Surround circuit, a high-grade surround virtualizer that lets you enjoy the excitement of 5-channel audio when only using 2 speakers. Video Performance The T585 features a Dual Discrete Video Circuit (D.D.V.C.) for the highest possible picture quality via the Component Video output. An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a very critical component in generating superior quality video playback from DVD. The NAD T585, therefore, uses the high quality Analog Devices 12-bit, 216-MHz video DAC and a second 10-bit, 27MHz DAC from Cirrus Logic to ensure highly accurate playback of delicate, low-level video signals. This produces a vivid picture that is faithful in every detail. Over sampling of 4x is achieved for Progressive and 8x for interlaced video signals, allowing more detailed D/A conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is also possible thanks to a filter with flexible shutout characteristics that is used for the analog filter in the latter stage. Furthermore, the NAD T585 uses two separate video D/A converters to process Progressive and Interlaced signals. This eliminates mutual interference between the Progressive and Interlaced signals and allows both an Standard Definition and a High Definition picture to be output simultaneously – a great feature for sending video to a second viewing zone. Progressive Scan features the DCDi processor by Faroudja. Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over the interlaced scanning method used in normal TV broadcasts and other conventional applications, as it can process around twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. Video images are faithfully displayed with optimum naturalness and beauty. A wealth of picture quality adjustment functions, including Contrast, Brightness, Hue, Sharpness, Black Level and Gamma, can all be adjusted using the intuitive On Screen Display.
