Why so many NAD d3020 amps out there?


Hi guys,

It seems like there are a ton of NAD D 3020 units on the second hand market for $250-$300. What's your feeling on it 3-4 years later. All hype? Nice but has limitations? A great buy for a simple system? How does the DAC compare to a stand-alone in the same price range?

very curious - very tempted to pick one up.

I have one, I really like it! :) Retail prices are now $100 below original list.

It is a really nice integrated, with TONS of A and D inputs, though power is a little limited. I’m listening to one right now on my desktop. :)

Has an interesting amplifier section, called a "hybrid" but designed in cooperation with Hypex.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it if you like modern sounding amps and DAC’s.

If you must have something more juicy and colorful it won’t be for you. It is a _touch_ stark, but not limp.

I actually like the sound quality a lot more than I liked the Master’s series DAC. Call me crazy.

Best,
