NAD M3 Master Series Amp


I'm using a M3 in my home system as a 2ch. amp for critical music listening. I use the same L&R speakers also in a Home Theater setup using a Onkyo Receiver. Unfortunately I have to switch speaker wires each time I decide to listen to stereo music or watch movies because the sound from the Receiver on 2ch music is not that great, even bi-amped.

The M3 does not have a HT bypass. I've heard there is a simple way to upgrade this amp for bypass but I can't find any information on where or how to do it. Anyone have any information?

Thanks in advance,

Glad to hear that NAD is handling everything for you, and Bob is definitely the best person there to work with!
I believe that there is a factory provided firmware upgrade for the NAD M3 which converts one of the existing inputs into a HT bypass. Contact NAD directly or your NAD dealer for details on how this can be done.
Stevizzy, since your dealer is unaware of the firmware upgrade I suggest that you contact NAD customer support. They are certainly aware of it since I know of someone that previously had it done with their support. Good luck!
