The C 700’s high-resolution DAC can accept streams to 24-bit/192Hz. Like all BluOS-enabled components, the C 700 has full MQA decoding and rendering.  With these features, you can enjoy lossless and high-resolution audio from  services such as Amazon Music HD, Deezer, Qobuz, and Tidal.

NAD offers software tools that allow the C 700 to be integrated into smart home  control systems from Control4, Crestron, Elan, RTI, and others. This allows  control of music playback, along with other home systems like lighting, shades,  VAC, and security.

CONNECT AND CONTROL

The C 700 has two pairs of RCA analog inputs, as well as coaxial and optical  digital inputs, for connecting disc players, game consoles, media adapters, and other components. There’s also an HDMI eARC port for connecting an HDTV with HDMI eARC support. This allows the C 700’s volume setting to be adjusted from the TV’s remote.

In addition to the loudspeaker outputs, the C 700 has a subwoofer output jack.  Using the BluOS app, you can set low and high-pass crossover settings, for a  seamless blend between the subwoofer and main speakers.

The C 700 also has two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, so you can listen to music  through wireless headphones, and stream audio from any smart device.
