BluOS enabled 4K ultra HD receiver with immersive sound

NAD’s reference Audio Video Receiver AVR is a cutting-edge powerhouse for the state of the art music and home theatre. Well known for our high value/high-performance reputation in the AVR category, the brand’s reference model builds on that legacy with an expansion of unwavering philosophy of real-world performance, simplicity of operation, and future upgradeability.

Efficient Distortion-free Amplification

The T 778 features the latest developments in NAD’s Hybrid Digital technology to create 9 high current/high power channels of amplification with improved efficiency. Designed with NAD’s full-disclosure approach to power ratings, the NAD AVR conservatively delivers 80W FDP and 9 x 160W FTC, all channels driven at rated distortion. For flexibility, the amp channels are configurable to be used for surround or second zone audio. The silent black background and explosive dynamics afforded by this amplifier technology add lifelike realism, drama, and excitement to all your music and movies.

Fully featured surround

The T 778 is second-to-none in terms of flexibility and up-to-the-minute digital technology. Only NAD offers Modular Design Construction MDC, the company’s proven method for preventing premature obsolescence. 7.1.4 Dolby® Atmos™, DTS® Master Audio combines with Dirac Live™ room correction to deliver hyper-realism that captures every dimension of performance. Add bit-perfect 4K UHD video pass-through and the T 778 delivers the most accurate sound and image experience you’ve ever had. Musical performance is outstanding with High Res Multi-room streaming via BluOS.

Complete and compact

As with all NAD components, the company’s latest offering continues its ‘simple is better’ design philosophy. This sensible approach contributes to ease of use and maximises performance where it counts. A perfect example is the striking new touch screen and ergonomic refinements that simplify operation and ease of access.
