NAD M33 Streaming Amplifier Review

[Marc v E]

Another question, I have a nad m33 but I try to update with an power amp. The Nad M23 is to expensive for me, now I have found LSA Warp one. HAs anyone experience with NAD M33 and LSA? In the link below the writer says:

• If the M33 is seen as delicate, sweet, and nuanced, I would say the LSA is forceful, dynamic, and ultra ultra-clean, but without any fatigue or annoying sheen despite being fed from an ESS DAC.

Has anyone experience?

Adding a power amplifier to a m33 will give you nothing because the power amps in the m33 are already state of the art.

Much better results can be had if you invest in a subwoofer and use the dirac live option included in the m33.

All Thanks for the reaction. @Marc, You are absolutely right

I have handmade speakers with the saes kit CX 871, Sensitivity: 90 db/2.83V/1M.

The specs of LSA are:

• Power Output: 150W/ch into 8Ω, 250W/ch into 4Ω
• Power Supply: 600W switching-mode power supply
• Amp Modules: Texas Instruments TPA3255 Class D modules
• Input Types: Balanced (XLR/TRS) and Unbalanced (RCA)
• Gain: Selectable with DIP switches for different input sensitivities
• Distortion: <0.0027% THD+N @ 1kHz, 50W into 10Ω
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 115dB
• Noise Floor: -119dBV
• Dimensions: 14"W x 3"H x 10"D

Can I conclude that LSA Warp one has no added value with the M33?

Replacing Purify with TI Modules doesnt Sound Like an Update, no. I would keep using the M33 for amplification

Based on the above, keeping the M33 as your amplifier is the better choice. If you don’t already have a subwoofer, that’s where the money should go. Also, have you run Dirac Live yet? Biggest gain in sound quality I got in my room was from Dirac Live.

 

[CorD]

Yes I have Dirac Live. The sound is great, I also get target curves from internet (ASR). The sound from the copied curves is also good. What about the supwoofer, I don`t have. With the seas kit CX 871 a subwoofer is no needed. I play a lot with Dirac live.

Anyone who has compared the v2 to the original?
