NAD C 658 DAC

In the name of helping the community to discover the “sonic nirvana” , I’d like to share my thoughts on the NAD C658.

In short, my experience - from the moment I (blindly) bought it till now, ranged from “about throw it out of the window”, to “I’m selling the damn thing and buying - Brooklyn/PS Audio/Nuprime (insert a replacement here)” to “OmG! I shit! It’s the best sound I’ve heard . not just in my system. Ever! I’m keeping it”

intrigued?
Let me know and I’ll share more details. :)

key to success
1) amp matching
2) Dirac

I had it for about a month and returned it to crutchfield. There was problems with the volume control causing distortion. 

Olpot....I'm curious the hear more. This unit is getting a very broad range of reviews.

To kind of circle back around I ended up getting a Raspberry Pi 3+ running Ropieee. I also added a DigiOne HAT so I can S/PDIF into the Metrum Acoustics Amethyst DAC I also bought. I'm very happy with this setup and especially the Ropieee OS which acts a Roon endpoint. Just added the MQA module and about to do some a/b with Tidal and Qobuz. Stay safe out there.....what a great time to tinker though.

Interesting thread, for sure! Now you've got me thinking about this, after having nearly decided to pick up the Cambridge Audio Azur 851N.
Does anyone have experience with this one? Thanks!
