What is a NAD D 3020?

The D 3020 ($499) is a very new type of audio component that takes its name from a classic. In 1978, NAD, then called New Acoustic Dimension, released the original 3020 integrated amplifier, a rather funereal- but purposeful-looking thing with a drab gray chassis and large, blockish buttons.

Is the 3020 the best integrated amplifier?

Stripped of all but the most necessary features, it was conservatively rated to deliver a meager 20Wpc and had the kind of cheap plastic speaker-binding clips that too easily break when carelessly used. Still, the 3020 became the best-selling integrated amplifier in the history of high-end audio.

What does the d3020 V2 have to offer?

A great-sounding amplifier first, D 3020 v2 also comes equipped with an asynchronous 24-bit/96k DAC, aptX Bluetooth for wireless streaming from mobile devices, digital and analog inputs, a fantastic-sounding headphone amplifier, preamplifier output, and much more.

Why upgrade to an NAD amplifier?

This little gem outshined amplifiers costing 10 times more with its big, warm, detailed sound. Today, the source is more likely to be a computer or smartphone than a turntable, but the ability to choose speakers that perfectly suit one’s taste is still a compelling argument for upgrading to an NAD amplifier.
