The NAD T 765 now comes with full High Definition decoding thanks to NAD’s innovative approach to upgrading your AV tuner preamplifier – Modular Design Construction (MDC). The NAD T 765 is heir to many generations of award-winning NAD designs. This exceptional pedigree is evident in both the look and the feel of the T 765, and it is unmistakable the moment you listen. It is NAD’s insistence on creating products with remarkable sound quality at sensible prices that has made NAD the first choice among the most knowledgeable listeners from around the world. NAD’s ‘Music First’ philosophy dictates that we endow our Audio Video products with the same warm, involving sound quality that makes music listening so rewarding with our stereo components. This stands in stark contrast to our competitors who view Audio Video components primarily from a ‘content’ point-of-view, with sound quality far down the list of priorities. Yet the T 765 is second to none in terms of flexibility and up-tothe- minute digital technology.
Modular Design Construction NAD has developed a unique new architecture that keeps pace with the fast changing world of digital formats by allowing connectivity and feature upgrades as new technology becomes available. This prevents premature obsolescence by keeping pace with the latest developments in high performance audio and video formats. Dealer installed hardware and software can add new connectivity and features at a future date, allowing your T 765 to grow as your needs and tastes develop. Most AV receivers require complete replacement with a new model to get the latest features. With NAD you only replace the module you want to upgrade – not the entire AV receiver!
Audio Performance Today’s advanced Surround Sound receivers require quality in the digital decoding stages, the video processing section, and in the power amplifier design for the best overall performance. The T 765 is an excellent example of the NAD Design Team’s expertise in all three areas. Not only that, but we have made many ergonomic refinements to simplify operation and make it more enjoyable to get all the performance from this magnificently capable receiver. The AM 100 Audio Module uses the latest Dual Core Floating Point DSP technology. NAD was able to include the newest surround formats from Dolby and DTS, as well as NAD’s own highly regarded music surround mode - EARS. The EARS circuit (Enhanced Ambient Recovery System) is now optimized for 7-channel surround. Unlike the typical artificially enhanced DSP modes like ‘Club’, ‘Stadium’, and ‘Church’, EARS uses DSP technology to extract the natural ambience of the recording. This is redirected to the surround channels to create natural surround sound from any 2-channel source. This induces a warm natural reverberant effect without the hollow ‘BOING’ of artificial reverb. The surround mode of the source material is automatically detected via the digital inputs of the T 765, and the most advanced form of decoding is switched in. Conversion of the encoded digital bitstream is performed with high resolution and extremely linear D/A Converters carefully selected for their performance capabilities.
Video Performance Employing the very latest generation of advanced HDMI Receiver and Transmitter chips in the VM 100 video module ensures compatibility with the broad range of HD digital video sources and displays available today. NAD engineers have utilized a powerful FPGA with our own custom software to process the video signal, enabling the conversion of analogue video to digital video and allowing a single cable connection to your TV for all sources while maintaining the source’s native resolution. Interlaced video is converted to progressive scan over HDMI allowing for complete compatibility with the latest HD TVs. NAD’s clear and simple On Screen Display is available on all Video Monitor outputs, and all audio formats including High Bit Rate audio from Blu-ray players, are supported by the VM 100.
Summary The T 765 offers remarkable performance and flexibility in a compact and simple to operate package. This multi-channel powerhouse will bring your favourite music and movies to life in your home entertainment room with an absolute minimum of fuss and a maximum of pure enjoyment.
