NAD M10 Master Series BluOS Streaming Amplifier

An All-in-One Solution for Streaming – Just Add Speakers

The audio world has shifted. The best quality of music available is now delivered over the internet, not via disc. Not only does it sound better, but the entire catalog of recorded music is available at your fingertips. This is a great convenience. Curated playlists make music selection and discovery easy and fun. Multi-room wireless audio multiplies the joy.

With the Masters M10, NAD combines all of this goodness with state-of-the-art amplification to make it an all-in-one solution that only needs speakers to transport you to your favorite musical destination.

BluOS Makes the M10 Something Special

NAD calls BluOS the most advanced network streaming and multi-room operating system available. Part of a growing ecosystem of compatible products, BluOS tightly integrates hardware and software for an unbeatable user experience. The only wireless high resolution multi-room system available today, BluOS supports the new standard for high res streaming, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA). BluOS also supports over 15 free and paid subscription services as well as supporting locally stored music libraries. Adding additional rooms is easy and affordable using Bluesound all-in-one speakers, or you can add premium components from NAD and others to provide amazing sound throughout your home.

Understated Elegance

With industrial design by award winning design firm DF-ID, the M10 takes a minimalist theme to a new level of elegance. The svelte proportions are enhanced by authentic materials, including solid brushed aluminum and smooth glass. Completely operable by Wi-Fi connection to the BluOS App, one need never touch the M10. But as you approach the M10 the high resolution touch screen beckons as the graphic changes from ‘now playing’ to ‘control panel,’ allowing many operations directly from the front panel without opening an App. It also shows what’s playing and what is next in the Play Queue.

Unmatched Performance

The M10 uses NAD’s most sophisticated Masters Series technology to create a sonic performance that is second to none. HybridDigital amplification featuring the remarkable HypeX nCore amplification stage offers state-of-the-art performance along with the ability to drive any loudspeaker. Highly efficient and remarkably powerful, the M10 can render even the most subtle musical details with ‘you are there’ realism. Effortless dynamics and a complete absence of electronic noise are hallmarks of this advanced technology.

Easy Smart Home Integration

NAD has spent considerable effort to make the M10 fully compatible with all the leading smart home systems from leading companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron and many others. This means that along with your lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, you can seamlessly control your BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface. All NAD integrations are certified for reliable operation. NAD also has custom BluOS Apps for iOS and Android tablets and phones, as well as desktop control from Windows and Apple OS.

Music Meant to Be Heard, Not Seen

The NAD Masters M10 represents a new kind of high-end audio system that is luxurious and smart, but very discreet. It can perform the same function that required a rack full of components just a few short years ago and in many ways is superior. The elegant form factor takes up very little space and can even be hidden away. But the beautiful design and colorful display will encourage you to place the M10 front and center.

"Sonically, the M10 has little character of its own, reproducing complex harmonics and textures with aplomb and low-level information with outstanding resolution. Attractive, luxurious, simple to set up and use, small, ridiculously well featured, the M10 is wonderfully enjoyable to listen to when connected to the right speakers for your ears and budget."
