INTRODUCTIONGETTING STARTEDTHANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.C 510 Direct Digital DAC is another excellent product that exemplifiesNAD’s unique Direct Digital technology. Replacing the traditional analogpreamp, the C 510 removes the source of noise and distortion that canobscure detail and limit the performance of many systems. By performingpreamp functions like volume and source selection in the digital domain,the C 510 shortens the signal path and opens up new system possibilities.The C 510’s dynamic range, the accurate portrayal of music’s subtle nuancesfrom soft to loud, is better by about 20dB compared to other DACs andPreamps! And because the volume level is controlled by mathematics inthe digital domain, there is no mechanical or electrical imprecision; allvolume levels have exactly the same circuit conditions. Also, with the 35 bitarchitecture of the C 510, even 24 bit files are not truncated until well belowthe threshold of audibility.As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided theC 510 design that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-arttechnology and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through thismanual.
