Meet the NAD T778 Surround Receiver
Time for a change. NAD has taken their most popular 7.1.4
receiver design and improved every aspect of it.
The result is an incredibly refined product.Fewer Buttons
Virtually every AV receiver on the market is covered by a mass of buttons and knobs. Occasionally they might be lurking behind a front cover, but in the end, there's no escaping them. It's refreshing, then, to see the NAD T778's front panel only featuring a volume dial and power switch, plus a large, color TFT touchscreen
Cinema connoisseurs will immediately see that the NAD T778 receiver has been given a minimalist new design. NAD's mobile app puts control in your hands. The end result is quite impressive. The new design really provides a breath of fresh air compared to the staid receiver designs out there.
Great Sound Quality
The T778 features the latest developments in NAD’s Hybrid Digital technology to create 9 high current/high power channels of amplification with improved efficiency.
Music streaming built-in
One of NAD's greatest assets is the Bluos platform. This allows you to stream your own files (even in hi-res) and from streaming services via a very user-friendly app.
Dolby Atmos Surround
Enjoy the latest in 7.1.4 Dolby® Atmos™, DTS® Master Audio combine with Dirac Live™ room correction to deliver hyper-realism that captures every dimension of a performance
Future Upgradability
Advances have come so quickly that most receivers are caught unable to pass 4K that today's sources require. 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) that lets you swap out the HDMI input board for future versions.
Have a stunning TV evening
Solid power (140 w/ch) provides enough for a thrilling movie experience. High slew rate amplifiers offer fast attack on transients and tighten up your bass. Advanced Dolby Atmos surround will separate sound images around you and put you in the action. The NAD's room correction helps overcome room acoustics and promises a seductive sound quality.
Reviews
"the sound quality is superb, and there's enough power to easily drive nearly any speaker to cinema-like levels. When you add in Dirac Live room correction and BluOS streaming, it makes for an incredibly compelling package that will have you listening to and enjoying more of your favorite music. And while you shouldn't necessarily buy a receiver simply based on its cool-looking front panel, in this case it won't hurt any. Lastly, with its future-ready MDC chassis design, the T 778 might just be the last receiver you'll ever need"
