When NAD announces a new lower priced CD player it has to be something really special. The C 515BEE is truly a breakthrough in both performance and value, perfectly matching the recently introduced C 315BEE Integrated Amplifier. The C 515BEE also supports the playback of MP3 and WMA files, using the latest and best sounding decompression algorithms. This allows the playback of CD-R’s burned on a PC with up to 10 hours of playback encoded on one disc. Of course the superb NAD D/A conversion and analog amplification stages assure the maximum possible sound quality for compressed music files.
Despite the budget price, a full measure of NAD performance is at the core of the C515BEE. Carefully engineered circuit layouts maximize the performance of each carefully selected part assuring the lowest noise and distortion possible. Multiple regulated low noise power supply circuits and individual circuit boards make sure that the delicate digital audio circuitry is well isolated form motor and display demands. Analog and digital circuits each have their own isolated supplies. Every element of the C 515BEE’s circuit is carefully chosen, from the transport to the 24 bit/192kHz D/A conversion to the audio specific analog OP Amps. Capacitor values and types are critical to maintain the detail, dynamics and musical warmth of your favorite recordings, and NAD’s vast experience in this area shows a nearly perfect musical balance.
