BluOS Streaming for AV Integration

At the core of the CI S2 is BluOS, NAD’s advanced streaming platform developed for reliable, high-performance multi-room audio. BluOS supports high-resolution playback and provides access to a wide range of streaming services, internet radio stations, and networked music libraries. Designed for responsive control and long-term stability, BluOS allows installers to deliver a consistent user experience across single zones or larger distributed audio systems.

Two-Zone Streaming with Flexible System Design

The CI S2 is designed as a two-zone streaming solution, allowing installers to deliver independent audio streams from a single compact component. Each zone can be assigned its own content, volume, and output path, making the CI S2 ideal for distributed audio systems that require greater flexibility without added hardware. With analogue and digital connectivity supporting a wide range of amplifiers and system topologies, the CI S2 enables efficient zone expansion while keeping system design streamlined and easy to manage.

Compact Form Factor for Custom Installation

The CI S2 features a compact 1U, 1/3-rack- width enclosure, allowing for 6 stereo zones in a 1u rack space. The CI S2 can be combined with other NAD CI Modular Series devices and mounted in the rack using ChassisLink for simple tool free mounting. This space-efficient design supports clean rack layouts and simplifies installation in projects where space and access are limited.

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.
