Esoterico-Lisbon-NAD 66-23_Dynaudio Concept 30
The NAD M66 is a high-end streaming DAC/preamplifier that represents the pinnacle of NAD's audio technology. This versatile component combines the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC chip with the BluOS multi-room streaming platform and Dirac room correction software.The NAD M66 is a high-end streaming DAC/preamplifier that represents the pinnacle of NAD's audio technology. This versatile component combines the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC chip with the BluOS multi-room streaming platform and Dirac room correction software.
Key Features:
The M66 has separate signal paths for digital and analogue signals, which helps minimize interference and ensures high-quality sound reproduction. It can operate in fully analogue mode, bypassing all digital processing when necessary. Additionally, the M66 features Dirac Live Room Correction, which allows users to calibrate its performance based on their room's acoustics. This improves sound quality by addressing issues such as standing waves and reflections.
Dynamic Digital Headroom (DDH): A unique feature that eliminates digital inter-sample peak clipping distortion, enhancing the realism of high-frequency sounds, particularly percussion.
Subwoofer Outputs: The M66 includes four balanced XLR and four unbalanced RCA subwoofer outputs, enabling the independent calibration of multiple subwoofers.
Connectivity: The NAD M66 is designed to cater to a wide range of audio sources. It supports popular streaming services through BluOS, offers high-quality wireless streaming via Bluetooth with aptX HD and LDAC, and provides physical connections including HDMI eARC, AES/EBU, and phono inputs for turntables. This comprehensive connectivity ensures that the NAD M66 is ready to handle any audio setup.
1. Live Music Setup: I start with a high-fidelity (HiFi) sound system playing music.
2. Video Recording: While the music is playing (or not), I capture video footage of the HiFi system and the room. This gives viewers a visual context for the music they will hear.
3. Sound Recording: After capturing the video, I use a stationary digital recorder placed in the sweet spot to record the sound of the same or a different track.
4. Dubbing: Once I have both the video and the high-quality audio recording captured in the room, I replace the original audio from the video with the recorded audio. This process is known as dubbing.
5. There’s no CD or digital file involved other than the one being played by the system itself. It’s all about capturing the most authentic and high-quality representation of the music-listening experience. What you hear is the music as it’s being played by the HiFi system and how it sounds in the room.
6. Final Product: The result is a video that shows the HiFi system playing music, but the sound you hear is from the high-quality audio recording I made previously or after I made the video. This gives you the impression of being in the room listening to music in the sweet spot, even though you’re watching a video, sometimes with close-up images.
7. Listen with a good pair of headphones for best results. And watch in 4K whenever possible.

AudioMeca Turntable by Herman van den Dungen
Ouch...this is serious listening room for serious gear. Staging and everything are stunning
Awesome sound just great!
Maybe you need a different recorder😊
Cube Audio is great. I had Nenuphar and Jazzon… can spend all Day in front of Them.
Own dipoles, listen to room reflections 😊
No matter what kind of speakers you have, if they are in a room, then you are listening to room reflections. And if they are your standard forward firing monkey coffins, the spectral balance of the room reflections will be very different from the direct sound coming from the speaker. And that doesn't sound very good at all. Siegfried Linkwitz was highly accomplished in loudspeaker design. What are your qualifications?
Price for M7 and M9
Depending on country (taxes) and currency, around 350 to 750 grand.
@@TheHIFICLUBEbyJVHthanks
The amplifers are too easly..... For to drive the Saga do you need two VTL Siegfried Reference II.
These are Nagra Ref mono amps.
Dankeschön 🙏
Audiophiles make me laugh. The snobbery of listening to a jazz track that for most people is not main stream music is in itself...Eletist. it should not be like that. Put on Spandau Ballets I'll fly for you.lisyen to the production
old dog not lifelike performer inside the box no imaging. fast listening fatigue. expensive garbage.
vocals and piano the best demo music. in piano notes should decay and float. impossible for one types. inefficient and high distortion. vocals is the way to test imaging. thick and heavy footprints at the center.
it's playing "PINK PANTHER" for god's sake... it's a generic, easily recognizable music peace...
no imaging only loud music inside the box. garbage.
"You have to listen to the speakers live to get an accurate sense of the sound imaging."
@@TheHIFICLUBEbyJVH old dog speakers are short means performer is dwarf not lifelike.
Sounded very holographic with my M3 macbook pro speakers 😛
??? your comment is inside the box. garbage..
What box? It's an open baffle design. There's frame, but no box, just panels affixed to the frame.
fantastic, thank you
This company should make an effort to paint their boxes in matching color, this is saving at the wrong place! this metal none-finish is maybe ok for a factory or warehouse, but is completely inappropriate for a domestic interior, they need professional advice how to present their gear, sad because it does not sound that bad, in spite of the subwoofer rigid/locked room position, but once you move the subwoofer out to their correct location you got a very awkward looking system.
get any amps you want, not every audio set up has to be an art piece, some people actually listen to the music on their speakers... The guy who designed those speakers was SPECIFICALLY against the bullshit speaker pseudo-audiophiles that care if their speakers match the drapes...
I read he got a doctor title, I wonder why he cant speak properly, maybe he has no Phd after all? his presentation really sucks.
He seems knowledgeable and reasonable to me.
Herr Brenner is German. His English is actually pretty good. Can you speak German?
He has a medical degree and he's also a senior airline pilot, flying 747's. What have you accomplished in your life? You come off as a complete idiot.
This guy needs is a bit clumsy. Also, is there a way to move the many boxes on the floor onto shelves or better conceal them all-together to free up the space.
It was a 3-day event, not a permanent setup.
the amps needs to match the black paint or better conceal them, too many cluttering boxes.
You can order any cable length you like and hide the amps away, if that's what you want.
@@johnstone7697 This is an advertising for a valuable HIFI system and it should present well, instead we witness a cable salad and precious items on the floor, this cannot be true! Someone got to help this guy.

@@pretol7920 my amps are hand build by DNM Denis Morecroft, a British legend, there is no clutter and no miles and tons of folded metal. nope, it's in an other class altogether.
Their website has matching paint units pictured.
Muito interessante! Pode ser que algum importador nacional queira representar a marca 🙂
Talvez amanhã, vou publicar um artigo sobre s Linkwitz em www.hificlube.net
Was würdet ihr als erstes abspielen?
The Tales of Hoffmann, Act III: Barcarolle
I listened to these live with the ability to choose the music, the speakers are shit, the high ones hurt the ears with a metallic sound, the middle is barely audible, there is no bass, you can only compare with them Microlab SOLO 7C
Not rock oriented speakers
Oh they looks nice. Why you don’t make real music with them? One voice and a piano sounds even on a iPhone good….
Good evening. YBA amps sold to Chinese???
I will never own these speakers but hope to hear them before I die😊
I did. And I am still here.

Hello, you probably know this already but in case not, Ultimate Audio have the new Halcro Eclipse monos at present and they sound great in their video. Perhaps you could visit and post your high quality videos which will be much better quality? These amps seem special! Many thanks
I love my DALI speakers. Hard to imagine an improvement on what I already have. But don't stop improving. My finances will catch up with you someday. Thanks

Excelentes gravações, como sempre, tanto no audio como no video. Obrigado!
Obrigado, Hugo. You ain't heard nothing yet. Wait for the Acappela and TAD recordings, especially this last one. It sounds amazing.
Wonderful recordings as always. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Ash. Not all recordings were made with the Nagra SD digital recorder-only a few. There is no time. Most were made with a cellphone. See if you can spot them.
Hi, Ash. By cellphone, I mean a Rode external mic mounted on a cellphone.
@@TheHIFICLUBEbyJVH The first thing cell phone recordings miss is the bass as their mics just don't have the bandwidth. Always enjoy your coverage and appreciate your efforts. Not sure if you got to the Zellaton room with their new Reference Ultra.....my new fav speaker...regardless of price. Ultimate Audio should really stock Zellaton.
@@TheHIFICLUBEbyJVH Ah I see what you meant now. Will try and ;listen again with headphones to see if I can hear any difference. But as systems and rooms are different as well so should be interesting!!
@@TheHIFICLUBEbyJVH Just listened again and I suspect that the Avalon Isis room and Stenheim/Nagra rooms are recorded using your Nagra SD and possibly the Soulution but not sure as Soulution never sounds good to me in Munich....have heard them sound good with Zellaton speakers. I could be totally wrong with my guesses but this is fun anyway. Munich rooms are very challenging for everyone.
Sounds good, what did you use to record it?
I t depends on the video. Some were simply made with a Rode microphone mounted on cellphone. A few were recorded with a Nagra SD digital recorder at 96/24. See if you can spot them.

I wonder what it feels like as a designer or the head of a company to know that you are only selling your product to an extremely small, but very wealthy percentage of the audio community.. It has to be a hollow and empty feeling..
Somebody has to push the envelope to see what's possible. The same could be said of Christian von Koenigsegg and his cars.
