HIGHER FIDELITY

High Res is to audio, what High Definition is to video. It is more lifelike and natural, and an altogether more enjoyable listening experience. With features like Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) the D 3045 can faithfully and accurately reproduce the full spectrum of sound encapsulated on the Studio Master. Until now, music lovers have only been allowed to hear an edited version of the full fidelity because our delivery systems, be it tape, vinyl, or CD, did not have the capacity to hold all the information contained in the Studio Master recording. With High Res downloads and streaming we can now enjoy exactly the same experience the artist heard in the studio when the recording was first made.

AMAZING CAPABILITY

We recognize that just because there is a new better format available doesn’t mean your present music collection will be discarded – far from it. So we have included all the inputs and circuits required to listen to all your current music, while also possessing the capability to fully exploit today’s best High Res sources. Especially notable is the Asynchronous USB input for attaching a computer which allows High Res streaming using one of the several High Res programs like Roon, JRiver, and Amarra. Asynchronous operation uses the D 3045’s precision clock (instead of the computers clock) to reduce jitter to a minimum and make the USB format work ideally for audio. For everyday convenience we have included Bluetooth wireless streaming featuring aptX HD, the latest 24-bit High Res version of Bluetooth that is being supported by more and more phones and tablets. Additionally, if you have Bluetooth headphones, you can also stream your non-Bluetooth sources wirelessly to your headphones, or you can plug in your wired headphones to enjoy the exceptional performance of our low impedance, high current, Headphone Amplifier.

FEATURES YOU WON’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE

Love vinyl? The D 3045 features NAD’s super accurate, wide dynamic range, Moving Magnet Phono preamp to extract every last morsel of sound from your LPs. If you still play CDs, we have both analog and digital inputs. The digital inputs allow use of the advanced High Res DAC built into the D 3045. You can even send the sound from your TV to the NAD and seamlessly control the system using your TV’s remote by taking advantage of the HDMI ARC input. Complete your system by adding a subwoofer with the convenient Sub Out jack.

PERFORMANCE AND PRICE

The NAD D 3045 includes advanced capabilities usually only found in far more expensive components. High Res USB DACs? They start at about 3X the price of the D 3045. High Current headphone amplifiers start at the price of the D 3045 and go up from there. Power Amps featuring 60wpc and with the low distortion and high current capability of the D 3045 are rare at this price. Yet all these products are wrapped into one compact, energy efficient, and convenient package engineered by one of audio’s most iconic brands. 45 years of audio excellence is on full display with this innovative and versatile component. Just add your favourite music source and a great set of speakers to enjoy many years of sonic bliss.

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.
