CI720

Network Stereo Zone Amplifier

The NAD CI 720 is the perfect solution for adding a powered zone for network audio. With the ability to support up to 64 zones, the CI 720 provides easy access to local libraries, Internet radio, popular music streaming services, and major control systems such as Crestron and Control4. As a BluOS® Enabled product, the CI 720 also integrates with select NAD products, as well as Bluesound’s wireless, hi-res multi-room streaming players. Wielding the power of HybridDigital™ amplification technology, the CI 720 can drive any speaker to life-like detail. NAD has also created a custom rack accessory that can house up to six CI 720s in a compact 3U rack space. Delivering amazing performance and easy setup, the NAD CI 720 is the perfect addition to today’s most advanced custom home audio systems.

60-watt per Channel, Single-zone

The 60-watt per channel, single-zone CI 720 Network Stereo Zone Amplifier with HybridDigital™ amplification technology is the perfect addition to today’s most advanced custom home audio systems. Featuring 60 watts per channel, and powered by BluOS, the CI 720 allows you to access and stream 24-bit high-res music with the control of a mobile device via Ethernet and third-party control systems like Control4, Crestron, RTI and URC.

Simple, Single-App Integration & Control

The CI 720 features the BluOS operating system, and allows you to access, control and stream music playlists to multiple BluOS Enabled zones in the home using simple touch-screen commands. The CI 720’s “blade” form factor allows up to six Network Stereo Zone Amplifiers to be installed neatly into a single 3U rack space, while its highly efficient energy-saving amplifier and thermostatic fan cooling adds enhanced reliability.

Hands-free Voice Control with Alexa

Add the BluOS Voice Skill inside the Amazon Alexa app and enjoy hands-free voice control of personal music collections, streaming services and more using a list of simple streamlined commands. Using an Echo device you can ask Alexa to play popular songs from Tidal, queue up saved playlists, adjust the volume in different rooms, or ask what’s playing in the Kitchen. No Echo device and want to try it out? No problem. Download the Amazon Alexa app, activate the skill, tap the speech bubble in the bottom drawer of the Amazon Alexa app and say anything from the list of commands.

Powerful Single-Zone Performance

With 60 watts per channel and up to 165 watts of Dynamic Power on tap, the CI 720’s integrated HybridDigital™ amp can drive any speaker to lifelike sound levels. By focusing on how to improve musical performance while consuming less power, NAD has taken CI amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption.

NAD RM 720 Rack Mount Accessory

A professional custom rack accessory is also available with innovative shelves that accommodates up to six CI 720s without a single modification in a 3U rack space. The RM 720 includes blanking plates for a neat front panel when less than six amplifiers are installed.

Master Quality Authenticated

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into every Bluesound Player that captures and delivers master quality audio to any room in your home. All Bluesound Players include a powerful decoder and audio renderer for the MQA system. The MQA logo shown in the BluOS app indicates that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and lets you know that you are hearing exactly what the artist recorded and approved in the studio.

Why Choose NAD

NAD is one of the most respected and enduring names in modern Hi-Fi, known for combining intelligent engineering, real-world usability, and strong musical performance without unnecessary complication or excess. Since the 1970s, the brand has built a loyal worldwide following through products that consistently prioritise sound quality, practicality, and long-term value over marketing spectacle.

What makes NAD particularly successful is the company’s ability to blend modern streaming technology, amplifier innovation, and system flexibility into products that remain approachable and highly enjoyable to live with. From compact streaming amplifiers through to reference-level Masters Series components, NAD products are designed to deliver genuine high-fidelity performance while integrating seamlessly into contemporary listening environments.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, NAD appeals strongly to customers seeking modern Hi-Fi systems that combine musical engagement, streaming convenience, and long-term upgrade flexibility without becoming overly complex or intimidating.

Signature Design and Sound

NAD products are engineered around a philosophy of efficiency, low-noise design, and preserving musical dynamics. Across both the Classic and Masters Series ranges, the company incorporates technologies including HybridDigital amplification, BluOS streaming integration, Dirac Live room correction, and highly refined DAC platforms designed to deliver strong performance within increasingly modern system architectures.

One of the most significant products within the current NAD range is the immensely popular C 3050 BluOS-D. Combining retro-inspired industrial design with modern streaming functionality and BluOS integration, the C 3050 has become particularly successful in Australia by offering customers an engaging and approachable entry into serious Hi-Fi. It captures much of the visual charm of classic NAD designs while incorporating contemporary streaming, HDMI connectivity, and room correction capabilities into a highly versatile integrated amplifier platform.

The M10 V3 sits beautifully between the Classic and Masters Series ranges, combining compact design, premium industrial execution, advanced streaming capability, and surprisingly serious amplifier performance within a highly elegant all-in-one system. For many customers, the M10 V3 represents one of the most complete modern Hi-Fi solutions currently available, particularly when partnered with carefully matched loudspeakers.

Within the Masters Series itself, the M66 preamplifier has emerged as one of the most important products in the range. Combining BluOS streaming, Dirac Live room correction, advanced DAC architecture, balanced analogue design, and highly sophisticated system integration capabilities, the M66 functions as a remarkably complete high-end control centre for modern reference systems.

Sonically, NAD products are generally known for their strong rhythmic drive, clean dynamics, and balanced presentation. The sound feels controlled, open, and musically engaging without becoming overly warm or excessively analytical, making NAD products highly versatile across a broad range of speakers and listening environments.

NAD Product Range

The NAD range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes integrated amplifiers, streaming amplifiers, DACs, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and BluOS-enabled music systems designed across multiple performance levels and system sizes.

The Classic Series continues NAD’s long-standing focus on value, flexibility, and musical performance, while the Masters Series expands upon this philosophy through more advanced chassis construction, refined circuitry, premium DAC implementations, and increasingly sophisticated streaming and room correction technologies.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced system setup team provide assistance with BluOS integration, speaker matching, Dirac Live configuration, streaming setup, and complete system optimisation to ensure NAD products perform at their full potential within each customer’s listening environment.
