Tuner Radio NAD C446

In typical NAD fashion, we designed the C 446 Digital Media Tuner as a very uncommon music player—a gateway to your digital music sources and to the world’s best radio. Beneath the classic NAD chassis of the C 446 lays a uniquely powerful digital media player with Internet radio, FM/AM and DAB/DAB+ (where available). Included in its uncommon bag of tricks is the ability to stream your music collection from multiple networked storage devices using DLNA and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standards. Other great features include USB playback, Wi-Fi, an easy-to-use Internet radio portal and support for cloud music services, such as Last.fm.

Network and Stream

We love computer music but hate computer sound. Why listen to your digital music through computer speakers when the C 446 can play it all on your performance hifi

system? The C 446 utilizes an UPnP client to allow you to play audio fi les wherever music is stored on your network*, such as your computer, Android phone, Apple iOS device, or network hard drive.

Music at your fingertips

Browsing your media collection is not limited to the control panel of the C 446. Thanks to UPnP Digital Audio Renderer (DAR) technology, you can browse, create playlists, and change songs from anywhere in your home using a variety of networked devices. Simply

connect your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or PC (with Windows 7) to the network and start selecting music.

Internet Radio

Thousands of radio stations. All kinds of music. Plenty of Podcasts. The C 446 knows no boundaries when it comes to serving up great radio from around the world.

An easy-to-navigate Internet radio portal allows you to browse and customise lists with all your favourite Internet radio stations.

Music First

An audiophile-quality 24bit/192kHz DAC and high performance analogue audio circuitry extract every ounce of detail from your favourite music. The C 446

handily outperforms broadcast quality thanks to its fi nely tuned RF and IF sections when listening to FM/AM, and lovers of DAB/DAB+ digital broadcast will appreciate the improved audio quality compared to other radios.

Uncommon Flexibility

The C 446 has a chameleon nature. Analogue FM/AM can be decoded as SPDIF digital output. Likewise, digital formats can be listened to using a high quality analogue output. An RS-232 serial interface port allows easy integration with advanced home automation

systems. You can also control and charge your iPod or iPhone by adding our optional IPD 2 Dock for iPod.

Digital Audio

The C 446 supports all the popular digital formats— MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV, and AAC—and offers a great opportunity for music lovers who want the quality found

in high-resolution audio fi les. Streaming these large fi les to the C 446 is simple thanks to its networking capabilities.
