All New NAD Master M33 Integrated Amp // GAME CHANGER ?..

Hi Anotherbob, I also had the NAD M10 and was disappointed in the dynamics at higher volumes and lack of rich lush sound. I also found the Dirac with the NAD M10 seemed to take away the dynamic range in the mids and highs and pushed the sound stage too far back for me.

When you say the NAD M33 sounds much better than the NAD M10 can you please expand and clarify how it sounds better? Did you try the Dirac with your NAD M10....as I said I did not like the Dirac on my M10?

Hey Anotherbob,

I'm curious how you were even able to get one of these? 

@spacemanrick

rick there is no way to know how this would sound in your system unless you try it - other folks can describe using words but it really tells one very little

"wow that mustang is fast car...i am so impressed "
"cool, so what is your usual car?"
" i normally drive an explorer"

nad no doubt has improved the SQ of their new unit... their prior series was embarrassing, for what it was marketed to be... a ’master series’ component -- features wise it offered a lot, esp dirac for folks with impossible rooms, but put it up against a serious high end amp with proper tone and realism - amp vs amp - the SQ gap was large

The game's been changed so many times in the last couple of months that I forgot all the rules...

@spacemanrick I did try the neutered version of Dirac in my M10 and didn’t think much of it. I don’t know how to much better describe the sound from the M33 any better than I have, not being a professional reviewer. It’s much better than the M10, and with the full featured Dirac it’s just amazing to me.  Stereophile has a review of it in their current issue.

@rill I traded my M10 in a couple of months ago and was then number 2 on their list to get a M33 from that dealer. It finally came in. Audio lab in PA was the dealer. The number one person on their list got theirs 3 weeks before I did.
