Innovative Direct Digital™ Technology

The D 7050 features our most advanced digital platform, Direct Digital™, first introduced in our award-winning Masters Series M2 Amplifier. Direct Digital™ eliminates any noise and distortion producing analogue circuits in the D 7050, so your music remains digital right up to the speaker outputs. Direct Digital™ technology performs all preamplifier functions in the digital domain using sophisticated software to control all aspects of performance. Digital is converted to analogue by a simple passive two-pole reconstruction filter located at the speaker outputs. This radical design is the world's first successful closed-loop digital amplifier, which compares the output to the input, and then compensates for any differences to achieve a 'perfect' result. The uncompromising performance of the D 7050 is largely due to the elimination of noisy and resonating analogue circuits that can obscure musical detail and soften musical transients.

Small is Beautiful

We've packed four times the amount of circuitry into one-quarter of the space compared to our traditional analogue receivers. This makes sense since high-speed digital circuits perform better with very short signal paths. We also employ large scale integrated circuits (LSIs), surface mount components and multi-layer printed circuit boards to optimise speed and performance while keeping the form factor ultra-compact. The high efficiency of our Direct Digital™ amplifier technology significantly reduces the size of the heat sinks and power supply required, while offering improved sound quality. There is even a subwoofer output with a selectable digital crossover that encourages the addition of a powered subwoofer for cinema effects and musical rhythms you can feel as well as hear. The result is a cool running, compact powerhouse with remarkable performance.

Spotify Connect

NAD D 7050 owners will now enjoy Spotify’s new home audio experience with simple hassle-free music control and instant access to millions of songs. Streaming music from Spotify Connect couldn’t be simpler, making the D 7050 the ultimate plug ’n play solution for wireless music in the home.

You get the electronic crossover function for perfect subwoofer integration, as well as PerfectPitch™, a custom EQ library that fine-tunes the response of your D 7050 when used with supported models of PSB Speakers. This integration of amplifier and speaker is a unique capability made possible by the powerful DSP engine inside the D 7050.
