SUCCES

"Solidly Built with Fine Detail"

The NAD Masters Series represents the mind, body and soul of
what music can be. And at the heart of that legacy exists the M5 SACD player.
Enjoy your music free from the distortion of man and machine as the true essence
of the Master Series is revealed.

"It looks and feels much more costly than the price tag might
suggest," reports the February 2007 review in Real Hi-fi magazine, which
calls the M5 "solidly built with fine detail."

"I am really difficult to please," admits Ernie Fisher in the
June 2007 issue of The Inner Ear magazine. "However, I have to admit that
the M5's sonic caliber exceeded my expectations and I think it is superior to
any other player I have auditioned in its price category."

"It provides a fulfilling listening experience, not yet
attainable in other brands at its price range, or even from those available at
twice the price," concludes Fisher in The Inner Ear.

"Best Ever in Our Lab Tests"

"The low noise level and degree of resolution reached by this
player in SACD mode is the best ever in our lab tests," reports G. Corsi and F.
Montanucci in Italy's Audio Review magazine.

The SACD format can offer a significant improvement in sonic
performance when compared with a standard CD. SACD uses a fundamentally
different approach to transferring the analog musical waveform into the digital
domain for storage on the disc. This is called Direct Stream Digital, and is
widely considered to be a fundamentally better approach to digital encoding.

SACD requires very high speed processing that simply wasn’t
available at the birth of the CD format. This high data rate process avoids the
quantization errors inherent in the Pulse Code Modulation process used for the
traditional CD and DVD. Extended high frequency response, enhanced detail and a
more analog-like sound quality are often stated improvements of SACD over CD.

Excels with CD, HDCD, MP3, and WMA, Too

Many of us still have extensive CD collections, however, and
luckily the M5 has sophisticated circuitry designed to also get the best
possible sound quality from your existing CD recordings. In addition, the M5
includes an HDCD decoder which can increase the dynamic range of CD by 6dB with
specially encoded and widely available CDs. CDR and CDRW recordable discs are
fully supported, and even MP3 and WMA can be played on the M5 CD/SACD Player
offering many hours of playback from a single disc.

But the SACD format also offers the possibility of 5.1 surround
sound playback, and the M5 is equipped to take full advantage of these exciting
new multi-channel recordings. We have even included comprehensive bass
management (redirection) for the 5.1 output.

Several popular speaker configurations can be easily accessed
from the front panel controls and navigated via the VFD display. A higher level
of fine tuning is available via the Composite Video output using the M5’s On
Screen Display. This video output is also useful for managing MP3 playback.
Since we expect most M5’s to be used in music only systems, the video circuit
can be switched off to afford the cleanest possible audio performance.

Luxurious Design

Intelligent use of aluminum extrusions, zinc castings, and
heavy gauge steel results in a chassis that is as rugged as it is handsome.
Innovative use of specialized coatings and plating results in a product that
will retain its good looks for many, many years to come.

Since the high-density data recorded on SACD must be read with
absolute accuracy, vibrations from outside or from internal sources, such as the
power supply, will adversely affect sound and picture quality. A variety of
special measures have been incorporated in the NAD M5 to suppress these unwanted
vibrations, from the carefully engineered heavy gauge steel chassis, to the
vibration isolating silicon rubber foot design.

Matchless Audio Performance

Separately configured signal paths for the CD and SACD audio
maintain the highest possible levels of CD and SACD sound quality. PCM Digital
audio outputs are available in AES/EBU (balanced), coaxial, and optical
(TosLink) SPDIF formats.

The NAD M5 uses professional grade D/A converters with 24-bit,
192-kHz resolution for PCM (CD) signals, and a special DSD mode for SACD. These
premium devices are well protected from noise caused by even minute fluctuations
in current from the power supply. Separate digital filters are employed for the
SACD and CD signal paths to perfectly compliment these uniquely different signal
formats. 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, regardless of
recorded format.

NAD’s specially designed discrete Class A gain modules keep all
the detail in high resolution SACD perfectly intact, and offer very low output
impedance across the frequency spectrum. These are the same high performance
modules first seen in the M3 preamplifier stage, with distortion levels that are
at the lower limits of measurement combined with ample undistorted output
current to effortlessly drive even long cable runs. A set of balanced stereo
analog outputs are included for very long runs and easy integration with
professional studio equipment.

The audio stage of the M5 is fed from a separate linear power
supply utilizing a specially designed C-core transformer for the lowest possible
noise and best supply regulation. The mechanical and digital circuits have their
own independent NAD designed switch mode supply.

Digital Bass Management is available for the SACD surround
sound format. 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 Super Audio CD sources, it
is possible to preset 5.1 speaker configurations. The crossover point is
selectable with 12 dB high and 24 dB low pass filter slopes.

An Incredible Value

Musical performance at the highest levels of attainment;
inspired industrial design; Build Artistry construction; the M5 CD/SACD Player
is without peer for its unique blend of features and performance at an
incredibly affordable price. The M5 has the power and performance to literally
transform your current CD collection, opening new musical vistas in your
favorite recordings. The M5 also fully exploits the latest recorded music
formats. From High Definition SACD, to compressed MP3 and WMA, the emotive value
of music is always clearly communicated. If music is important in your life,
listen to the NAD Masters Series M5.

LUXURIOUS DESIGN
The design brief reads:
“The industrial design must create a physical presence that is powerful,
dynamic, and solid, yet refined and elegant”.
We wanted a design that will
still look fresh and new a decade from now, a design with classic proportions
and understated details.
