Pure CD Performance
The C 569 uses a tray-loading CD mechanism with an NXP-based servo system that precisely controls disc speed, laser focus and tracking. Careful separation of the transport, power supply and signal circuitry helps reduce interference and preserve subtle musical details.
Advanced Digital Technologies
NAD’s Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH) technology addresses distortion caused by inter-sample clipping in highly mastered CDs. By restoring digital headroom, it allows dynamic peaks and transients to be reproduced with greater clarity, impact and naturalness.
Refined Digital-To-Analogue Design
The C 569 combines QRONO d2a filtering with an ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE® DAC to improve timing accuracy and preserve musical detail. A symmetrical stereo analogue output stage, dedicated power regulation and short signal paths help minimise noise while maintaining clarity and dynamics.
Made for Album Listening
Designed for traditional CD listening, the C 569 features intuitive controls, a 3.7-inch full-colour display with CD-Text support and a smooth, reliable transport mechanism. Gapless playback and an included remote control make it easy to enjoy complete albums without interruption.
Flexible System Integration
Stereo RCA analogue outputs allow the C 569 to function as a complete CD source using its internal DAC. Optical and coaxial digital outputs also enable connection to an external DAC, providing flexibility for existing hi-fi systems and future upgrades.
