I sent in my NAD T758 V3 to be measured and let’s just say it didn’t fair too well. While it packs a lot of features such as Dirac and 7 channels of amplification in a relatively lowish price point, both the DAC and amp measurements fall far short of what it should be providing. Having decided to not put it back in our home theater, I now have a need to purchase something else.
I have decided to stick with Atmos in a 5.2.4 setup. I built the speakers from DIY SOUND GROUP. Front 3 are 893 which have waveguides/compression drivers with 93db sensitivity. Ceiling and surrounds are coaxials and are also fairly sensitive @ 93db as well. I prefer Dirac but would be willing to look at Audissey XT32 again if I could use the app to create a custom curve etc.
I am hoping this thread will provide some buying options for those looking to buy an AVR or Processor / Amp.
My particular criteria: I would like a combined SINAD of at least 90 (DAC/Amps), and a budget of $3500. I am OK buying used.
Is this even possible @ $3500?
I would love to hear some ideas.
