NAD C446 digital media tuner
With built in digital-to-analog conversion, support for cloud-based services like Last.fm, and UPnP and DLNA compatibility, electronics professionals can offer their clients a one-box solution that accesses their entire digital media collections.
In addition to its UPnP and DLNA digital media capabilities, the C 446 also incorporates a traditional AM/FM tuner for a MSRP of $800.
Whether people want to admit it or not electronics are a major part of most peoples' lives. Components like computers and portable devices are engrained into the fabric of society and there are many people that couldn't think of what life would be like without their electronics.
NAD's newly released C 446 digital media tuner is a device that installers can use to tie all of these digital media devices together. The media aggregation device allows homeowners to tap into the content that's stored on their networks and stream files from their Apple iOS and Android devices. The C 446 incorporates a 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and an analog circuit design that helps the unit to reproduce a variety of files, including MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV and AAC to the highest possible levels.
NAD says the unit employs Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standards, and the company adds that through the implementation of Digital Audio Renderer (DAR) technologies, users can scroll through their media, create playlists and change songs from anywhere in their home. In addition, the C 446 also incorporates Wi-Fi, USB, support for services such as Last.fm and RS-232 control.
