NAD has been a staple in my hifi systems since 1988. Top notch gear!

[DeepTranceFeeling]

Solid amp I run it as a preamp for my M22V2 - M22 bass control and depth is incomparable with M33.

[SirMountainpass]

M33v2 in the works (M10v3 already launched, dealers already starting to offer discounts on the current M33)… Curious to read the first reviews…

[chebrubin]

You know qualitative retail.

NAD Master series is awesome.

[net_news]

Killer product, really amazing!! I prefer the M66 though b/c the power section of the M3 fell short with my maggies. But I loved all the rest of M33 in fact I'm saving for the M66 right now.

I wanted to bring attention to an issue I’ve encountered with my NAD M33, particularly around the subwoofer output level. While I love the M33’s design and sound quality, the ultra-low output from the sub out line has made it challenging to get the performance I’d expect, especially at low listening levels. Here are the specific issues:

Low-Level Listening Problems: The subwoofer doesn’t consistently receive a strong enough signal to activate at lower volumes, impacting the full audio experience.

Dirac Calibration Issues: This low output has caused real complications with Dirac measurements, one of the key features that drew me to the M33. Proper calibration is practically impossible when the sub signal isn’t accurate.

After reaching out to NAD support, they acknowledged this as a known issue. However, there’s currently no fix planned, nor a timeline for addressing it in a firmware update. Unfortunately, any posts about this on the forum are quickly removed, with instructions to contact support directly, which has left me and others in the community without a forum to openly discuss this problem.

If you’re an M33 owner or considering buying one, I encourage you to be aware of this limitation. It’s a fantastic unit otherwise, but this issue can be a dealbreaker for those relying on full-spectrum sound or Dirac calibration.

If anyone has found a fix and not a band-aid, I’d love to hear about it!

I auditioned the M33 with a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30i’s - perfect synergy, amazing sound quality, very airy and detailed presentation but not at all unpleasantly “forward” sounding, tight control of the low octaves - on my upgrade list as v2 with the Dyns…

[alvarocoutinho]

It misses line out. Tape recorders are coming back strong.

[commane]

I tried this with Spatial Audio OB speakers and found the sound thin. It was bettered by a Rogue Audio integrated Cronus Mag III.

[squishmallowfan]

I bought one when it came out. It’s REALLY nice - good separation etc. And then the front display died - can still use it but this shouldn’t happen with a 5k piece of stereo equipment

[yaboobaker]

unfortunately no one here in Portugal have these units for display or testing, hence i am wondering if i should get a M33 for my Arendal 1528 tower speakers or M66 and c298 or M66 and M32. Your recommendation will be appreciated.

[IRON_PANDA]

In the future, gonna have to decide between this NAD, Yamaha RN-2000a and Arcam's SA35/45 when I decide to upgrade from my C 3050 LE. Have not too much bad things to say about NAD or Bluesound. Have heard NAD's implementation of the Eigentakt amp circuit on the C298 and was mad impressed back when I had it in house.

[aligrant]

MUSIC PRODUCERS BEWARE! It's is a great amp acoustically, I love it. I have the M33 but the problem with NAD amps no one is talking about is latency! If you want to play anything live, like putting the stylus on the record, the gap between action and sound is seconds! So when I try to play some ideas in my living room for music production for example, the latency makes its impossible to use. So its only good for Spotify streaming or digital listening, anything analog or music production it falls apart.... not sound wise but timing wise.

[middleearthltd]

Nice review
Informative
I generally like what NAD does and this unit in particular

[marcfoss]

Superb piece of audio kit. I love my M33. Nice review.

[Staybrown]

Great review…I know you did not mention, but did you happen to connect a tube phono stage? I’m supper tempted by this unit but I wonder what the TT sound would be if connected to a tube phono.

[davidg]

Speaker connections look tight. Can you use bigger spades on these connectors?

[adsph]

Great take James. What an incredible piece.

[davidatrakchi]

Seems like audio manufacturers are currently focusing on nice displays transforming audio to 2 senses experience
