General Information
The original NAD 3020 introduced a generation of music lovers to true high-fidelity sound. It could embarrass amplifiers costing 10 times more with its big, warm and detailed sound. Now NAD has brought these same qualities into the digital age with the introduction of D 3020 Hybrid Digital Amplifier.
Connect all your digital devices
There are inputs for your computer and for other digital and analog sources. The USB input uses "asynchrounous" mode to insure the lowest possible jitter (timing errors) from notoriously unstable computer audio outputs and supports 24/96 HD studio master music files. Coaxial and optical inputs allow many different digital sources to be connected, from CD and DVD disc players, to set top boxes like Apple TV or satellite and cable receivers. There are also analog inputs for iPods and older non-digital audio components like FM tuners.
The D 3020, with its wireless Bluetooth capability, can stream music from smartphones, tablets and laptops and even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth aptX that is becoming more and more popular for its excellent sound quality and low power consumption compared to Wi-Fi.
Power that really delivers
Power output may sound small at 30 watts per channel, but like all NAD amplifiers this can be very misleading, as a properly designed 30W amplifier can often sound superior to a 100W amplifier from a lesser brand. More important, the D 3020 can drive real loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion. It's highly efficient design wastes less energy resulting in cool running and longer life. Standby power consumption is
