NAD C700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier
The way we experience music today has evolved dramatically. With access to massive online music libraries and high-resolution streaming, listeners are enjoying sound quality that often surpasses physical media. At the same time, the warmth and charm of vinyl are making a strong comeback. The NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is built for this new era — a compact, all-in-one solution that lets you simply add speakers and dive into your music. It brings a range of upgrades over the original C 700, including a refined DAC, a moving magnet phono stage, Dolby Digital decoding, and support for Dirac Live room correction (available via update later this year). An included IR remote adds extra convenience to an already versatile package.
A Sensory Experience, Reimagined
The NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is built for modern music lovers who want instant, high-quality access to their favourite tunes. Just connect your speakers and dive into your music collection using the intuitive BluOS Controller app on your phone, tablet, or computer—it’s that simple. And once the music starts, it’s nothing short of exceptional.
Thanks to its HybridDigital UcD output stage, the C 700 V2 delivers a robust 2×80 watts of continuous power and up to 2×120 watts of dynamic power, handling musical peaks with ease. Known for its exceptional clarity, NAD’s UcD design keeps distortion and noise impressively low, even under demanding loads. Combined with a new ESS Sabre ES9028 DAC, the V2 model elevates sonic precision and depth, bringing recordings to life in a way that’s immersive and true to the source.
The experience goes beyond sound. With its elegant aluminum chassis, smooth front panel, and vibrant 5" high-definition colour display, the C 700 V2 offers visual and tactile appeal that complements its sonic performance. Use the front-panel controls or the included BC1 IR remote to navigate menus and tweak settings directly from the unit, or just enjoy watching album art and playback info as your music plays.
A Modern Classic, Reimagined
The NAD C 700 V2 brings together timeless hi-fi values and cutting-edge streaming technology. With built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and a powerful streaming engine driven by the BluOS platform, it’s ready to connect with your world of music. The BluOS Controller app gives you seamless access to an enormous range of streaming services and internet radio stations, or you can play files directly from a USB drive. And now, with the addition of a Moving Magnet phono stage, your turntable can plug straight in—no external preamp required.
As with all BluOS-enabled gear, the C 700 V2 supports high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/192kHz, complete with full MQA decoding and rendering. Whether you’re streaming from Qobuz, Tidal, Amazon Music Ultra HD or Deezer, you’ll experience your music in stunning clarity and detail.
Streaming flexibility is at the forefront, with support for Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2—letting you control playback directly from your favourite apps or stream from Apple devices and iTunes. Voice control via Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri adds another layer of hands-free convenience.
For smart homes, the C 700 V2 integrates easily with systems like Control4, Crestron, RTI, and Elan, allowing professional installers to create a seamless control experience across your music system and the rest of your connected home—from lighting and climate to security and more.
Well Connected for Every Setup
Whether you're building a compact hi-fi system or integrating into a broader home entertainment setup, the C 700 V2 has the inputs and outputs to make it happen. It features a built-in MM phono stage, stereo RCA inputs, and both optical and coaxial digital inputs—perfect for connecting everything from turntables and CD players to game consoles and streamers. There's also an HDMI eARC port, allowing seamless connection to your TV, with volume conveniently controlled via the TV’s remote.
Speaker connections are just the beginning. A dedicated subwoofer output lets you dial in the perfect bass response using the BluOS app, which gives you control over high- and low-pass crossover points for a smooth, integrated sound. Want to go further? Add two additional BluOS-enabled speakers to create a full 4.1-channel Dolby surround system, ideal for immersive movie nights or powerful music sessions.
To make the most of this setup, the C 700 V2 supports Dirac Live room correction (license and calibrated mic sold separately). Tailor the sound to your room’s acoustics and save up to five unique Dirac profiles for different listening conditions or speaker setups—giving you optimized sound, whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or hosting friends.
And with two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, you’re free to stream from your phone or tablet and also listen wirelessly with Bluetooth headphones—perfect for late-night sessions or private listening.
The Legacy Continues
The NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier offers a wealth of possibilities for music lovers. It can be the centerpiece of your standalone system or become part of a larger BluOS whole-home audio setup, supporting up to 63 additional zones and delivering high-resolution sound across your entire home. Alternatively, you can integrate it with other AirPlay 2-enabled devices to extend your audio throughout your space.
With the C 700 V2, you have the freedom to enjoy music from a wide range of sources—whether it's your favorite streaming services, vinyl collection, smart TV apps, or music stored on a USB drive. You can even listen through wireless headphones when you want a more private experience. Plus, its digital and analog inputs allow for seamless integration of your legacy components, ensuring no part of your collection is left behind.
NAD's commitment to value, performance, and innovation dates back to the iconic 3020 integrated amplifier, first introduced in 1978. With the C 700 V2, NAD brings this legendary legacy into the modern age, redefining what a compact streaming amplifier can do.
