"A refreshing new take on AV receiver design when it comes to the user interface, and packed with useful features including Dirac Live. A commendable performer too."

- Jamie Biesemans, Home Cinema Choice, December 4, 2022

"The NAD T 778 AV Surround Receiver earns its flagship status and easily competes with others in its class. It adds value with Modular Design Construction which makes it almost future proof."

"As a flagship AVR, one expects it to top the less-expensive models in its line, and given the dynamics, I heard from both music and movies, it most certainly does. With a completely silent noise floor and amazing responsiveness, every burst of sound, whether it was massed strings or violent explosions, came across with tactility and detail. Textures were rich and varied and I never strained to hear the finest nuances. There is no fatigue here, not even with low-quality content. You can listen to this receiver for hours and easily lose track of time."

"The T 778 is an AVR for the long haul. I’ve enjoyed my time with it more than any other NAD component I’ve reviewed. It receives my highest recommendation."

"The new NAD T778 distinguishes itself with a refined sonic character, one that’s equally at home dishing out the sonic goodies as it is with more subtle fare. It has more than enough dynamics to create an expansive home theatre experience. At the same time, the ability to deliver effects with pinpoint precision ensures the action’s delivered not only with a sense of impact but credibility. Coupled with its modest dimensions and downright cool styling, this box brings flagship performance to a range of spaces which may have dictated a compromise in the past. Highly recommended, then."

"Those who value sound quality will find much to love about the T 778, which features BluOS multiroom music streaming and Dirac Live room correction, along with an upgradeable chassis to prevent obsolescence."

"My immediate impression was that the T 778 had a very liquid and organic sound; it was smooth, natural, and pleasing, and also easy to listen to even when pushing reference volume levels. The overall tonal balance was wonderfully neutral, but with loads of dynamics and detail."

"Wrapping up my evaluation of the T 778, the saying 'got it where it counts' comes to mind. Sure, it might lack a few convenience features, but 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."
