The original NAD 3020 introduced a generation of music lovers to true Hi-Fi sound. In the 1970’s, over a million people rediscovered their music when they placed a NAD 3020 between their turntable and loudspeakers. Today, the source is more likely to be a computer or smartphone than a turntable, but the ability to choose speakers is still a compelling argument for upgrading to an NAD amplifier.
The original NAD 3020 introduced a generation of music lovers to true high-fidelity sound. In the 1970’s, over a million people rediscovered their music when they placed a NAD 3020 between their turntable and loudspeakers. 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. The D 3020 starts with the original NAD 3020 concept and brings it straight into the 21st century using the latest high-speed digital technology. Now with V2, we have refined the looks and added a Phono input for vinyl playback.
Reinventing an Icon
Offering an excellent quality 24/192 DAC with 8 channels mixed to 2 for improved resolution, the D 3020 V2 represents the same kind of value-bending innovation that gave the original 3020 its legendary overachieving phono stage.
Connected
The D 3020 offers Coaxial and optical inputs. There are also analogue inputs including a MM Phono input. This Phono stage includes highly accurate RIAA equalization, an Infrasonic Warp Filter, and features both high overload margins and extremely low noise.
Power
Power output may sound small at 30W per channel, but like all NAD amplifiers, a properly designed 30W amplifier can sound superior to a 100W amplifier. The D 3020 astounds many for its ability to drive loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion.
Performance
The D 3020 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive™ that allows low impedance drive and high dynamic power at vanishingly low distortion levels.
Bluetooth
The D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth® capability. Stream all your music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The D 3020 even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth, aptX®, which is becoming ever more popular for its sound quality.
Mean and Green
The D 3020’s highly efficient design wastes less energy, requiring only 20% of the power needed by traditional Hi-Fi amplifiers. Standby power consumption is a miniscule 0.5W. NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption.x`
