NAD C 700 V2

[pablolie]

I'd be curious to see measured specs for this: https://nadelectronics.com/nad-electronics-launches-new-c-700-v2-bluos-streaming-amplifier/

The specs actually seem very close to the now ancient D7050 (ignoring the use as a DAC, please) ...

THD is a tie at <0.04%. SNR on the C700v2 (>84dB) is worse than the D7050 (>90dB). Channel separation aka crosstalk is a bit better on the C700, with >93db vs >85dB at 1kHz and >72dB vs >70dB at 10kHz.

But integrated Dirac is really, really nice. I have zero need for analog inputs or (ugh) a phono input (which typically are pretty mediocre in integrated amps at this price point anyhow), but if you do the new C700v2 has you covered.

@pogo as our resident NAD and Dirac champion do you know if the C700 V2 will get Dirac Live Bass control? And do you also happen to know if it the C700 V2 will support dual subs using the L/R Pre outs?

A C700 V2 could be a potentially excellent desktop device with the inclusion of Dirac.
Although I guess it'll still be inferior(?) to an M10 V2, and those now appear to be selling on early closeout - perhaps a good time to get one of those :\

Seems I answered the first one with a bit more googling!:
Does this mean NAD have decided to not follow through with promises of DLBC on the M33 and M10?!

I have not yet seen any information on this.
