Opinions on NAD please

I have owned NAD Home Theatre Receive (T-765) and an integrated amp (C 375 BEE).

• I upgraded from a Yamaha home theatre receiver and thought they were outstanding.
• The NAD home theatre receiver was specifically requested (with incremental cost) from the buyer of my house.  I owned it from '08 to '18 and it performed as expected.
• The integrated amp I bought in '15 and upgraded in '20.  I don't know if it was ever off in those 5 years.

My experience is they are made like tanks.  I haven't heard their master series stuff.  I have owned a Bluesound and thinks it's a great value.

In general my advice is to listen to as much as you can and if you like it - go for it.

I was excited, waited 6 months to get one. I had bought the new M23 amp last year and was (am) very impressed with it, so I ordered an M66. I liked the M23 better than a new series Bryston amp in my system. The M66 does a lot of cool things. The DIRAC software really makes a difference integrating subwoofers and main speakers and taming the room. Its internal DAC sounds good too. Early models have some bugs in them but NAD is working on those.  I’m still evaluating overall sound quality though.

Thanks for your feed back guys. If Im looking for something to be the base for my 2 channel listening which also leaves room to try different things. I like that the m66 has an analog direct mode that bypasses all internal processing so that I can experiment with different sources in the future.  The sub outs, av bypass, and phono inputs also a plus. The blu os app is good too.  Im currently using the blue sound node and really like the blu os app. 

The other option Im considering  which is not apples to apples, is the anthem str preamp.  This i would have to add a streamer to but it also has many features.  This is atractive to me because the rest of my system is anthem/paradigm and everything would use the same ARC room correction.  

Im just a newbie getting excited about my next purchase. 

Thanks again

I would not recommend NAD. 

Spotty history on reliability.

Try Parasound, or better yet, Anthem.
