Inside one compact aluminum chassis, NAD has packed a streaming player, a digital-to-analog converter, a preamp, and a power amp. Connect a pair of speakers and you have a complete music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 builds on the original C 700, which NAD launched in 2021. The new version keeps the core amplifier and the BluOS streaming brain that made the first C 700 popular. It then adds a moving-magnet phono stage for turntables, refines the digital circuitry, and opens the door to Dirac Live room correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's wireless streaming platform (NAD and Bluesound share it). It runs in a free app on your phone, tablet, or laptop. You browse music, pick a song, and the C 700 V2 plays it through your speakers — wired or completely wireless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's New in V2 — and Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAD describes the C 700 V2 as a refresh designed to \"polish anything that even remotely looked like a rough edge\" on the original. Three things changed. The digital-to-analog stage was redesigned for wider dynamic range and lower noise. A moving-magnet phono input was added for turntable owners. And Dirac Live room correction became an option through a separately purchased license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same compact aluminum body and 5-inch color display carry over. So does the HybridDigital UcD output stage. If you owned the original C 700, the V2 is the same idea, finished better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it matter? How does it improve your listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreaming-amp combinations have to do a lot. Decode hi-res files, drive speakers cleanly, switch sources, sound musical. The C 700 V2 puts most of the work inside one well-engineered box, so the signal path stays short and the noise floor stays low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline number is 80 watts per channel continuous into both 8 and 4 ohms — driven cleanly to under 0.04% distortion. Short-burst dynamic power reaches 100 W into 8 ohms and 125 W into 4 ohms, which helps the amp stay composed through musical peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital side handles streams up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz PCM with MQA decoding and rendering. The refined digital-to-analog stage in the V2 brings wider dynamic range and accurate imaging across all sources — streaming, optical, coaxial, HDMI eARC, and the new phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's different about how it's built?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridDigital UcD output stage is NAD's pairing of an analog preamp circuit with a Class D power module developed in collaboration with Bruno Putzeys. UcD (Universal Class D) was an early modern Class D topology designed to keep distortion low and behavior predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is high efficiency — the amp runs cool and stays small — combined with low measurable noise. Damping factor is over 90 across the audible range, meaning the C 700 V2 keeps tight control of the speakers it drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono input is moving-magnet only. NAD has designed it with accurate RIAA equalization (the standard EQ curve every vinyl record is cut to) so an MM cartridge plugs straight in. Moving-coil cartridges need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHDMI eARC connects the C 700 V2 to a compatible TV with a single cable. The TV remote can then control volume, so TV listening doesn't require a separate remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want a complete music system in one box — just add speakers and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You stream music as your main source — Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple AirPlay, internet radio, or files on a NAS or USB drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You own a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge and want to plug it straight in without buying an outboard phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want clean TV audio through your stereo speakers via a single HDMI eARC cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You're building a multi-room BluOS system — or might want to later — and want one BluOS node to play, control, and coordinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You care about room correction and would like the option to add Dirac Live down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect to your system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog: one moving-magnet phono input plus a stereo line-level RCA input.

The benefit is high efficiency (the amp runs cool and stays compact) combined with low noise and clean delivery. Continuous output is 80 W per channel into both 8 and 4 ohms, with dynamic power up to 125 W into 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRefined Digital-to-Analog Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2's redesigned digital-to-analog stage was developed to deliver wider dynamic range, accurate imaging, and low noise across every source — streaming, optical, coaxial, HDMI eARC, and the phono input.

It runs in a free Controller app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. You get over 20 streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music Ultra HD, Spotify, Deezer, Idagio, internet radio, and more), high-resolution playback up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz, MQA decoding and rendering, and multi-room support across up to 63 additional BluOS zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Stage for Vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moving-magnet phono input is built in — new for the V2.

The C 700 V2 has the streaming player, DAC, preamp, and power amp built in. If you have a turntable, plug it into the MM phono input. If you have a TV, plug it into the HDMI eARC port. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the C 700 V2 a good match for my speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatching depends on power output, speaker sensitivity, and impedance — and the right answer depends on your specific speakers and room. The C 700 V2's 80 W continuous (with strong dynamic headroom) suits a wide range of bookshelf and compact floorstanders. Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the differences between Class A, Class A\/B, and Class D amplifiers? Which one is this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 uses HybridDigital UcD — a Class D output stage paired with NAD's analog preamp circuitry. Class A runs the output transistors fully on (clean, but hot and inefficient). Class A\/B blends both modes — the traditional analog approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass D switches the output transistors rapidly. The benefit is high efficiency and low heat. NAD's UcD design (developed with Bruno Putzeys) is a refined modern Class D used across NAD's HybridDigital amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is BluOS, exactly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's streaming platform (shared with Bluesound). It's a free Controller app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The app browses your library and 20+ streaming services, plays music to any BluOS device on your network, groups rooms together, and supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz with MQA decoding. The C 700 V2 has BluOS built in — no outboard streamer needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dirac Live, and how does it work with the C 700 V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is room correction software. It uses a calibrated microphone to measure how your room shapes the sound from your speakers, then applies a correction profile to flatten the response. The C 700 V2 is Dirac Live Ready — buy a Dirac license (from Dirac) and a calibrated USB microphone, and you can store up to five profiles on the amp. Without the license, the C 700 V2 still works as a complete streaming amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this have a built-in phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — new for the V2. The C 700 V2 has a moving-magnet (MM) phono input. That covers most entry-level and mid-range turntables. If your cartridge is moving-coil (MC), you'll need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to the next NAD model up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 is a much larger integrated amplifier with twice the power, dual MDC2 slots for future expansion, and more analog\/digital inputs. The C 700 V2 trades that for a one-box streaming experience in a much smaller chassis. If you want the streaming brain built in and the small footprint, this is the model. If you want more power and modular expansion, look at the C 399. Call us and we'll help you choose the right tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for home theater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 connects to a TV via HDMI eARC for clean two-channel TV sound. It also supports BluOS-enabled surround sound configurations — adding compatible BluOS speakers as wireless rears, plus a sub, lets you build up to a 4.1-channel system with Dolby Digital decoding. That's lighter than a full AV receiver setup, but more capable than stereo alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the original C 700 and the C 700 V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 adds a moving-magnet phono input, refines the digital-to-analog stage for wider dynamic range and lower noise, and adds Dirac Live Ready support (the original did not run Dirac Live). The aluminum body, 5-inch display, HybridDigital UcD amplifier, and BluOS streaming brain carry over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5' AC power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBC1 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 AAA batteries (for BC1 remote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner's manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick Setup Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant Safety Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluesound Brochure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.
