C 515BEE: The Absolute Sound's "Product of the Year"
The NAD C515BEE CD player offers out-of-this-world performance with a down-to-earth price.
- Plays CD, CD-R/W and decodes MP3 and WMA files copied to CD-R for up to 10 hours of continuous play
- 24/192 Sigma/Delta D/A converters for low noise and excellent linearity
- Repeat function for 1 song, 1 disc, or A-B repeat
- Program play with direct access from the remote control
- Forward and reverse skip and search function
- Informative VFD display gives complete information about tracks and time
- Display dimmer
- COAX and Optical digital outputs
- Compact size matches the NAD C 315BEE Amplifier
Here's a breakthrough player in both performance and value, combining the latest 24-bit, 192-bit Sigma / Delta DAC with audio-specific op amps, carefully engineered circuitry, and carefully chosen parts throughout its construction.
And the C515BEE beautifully supports the playback of MP3 and WMA files, using the latest and best-sounding decompression algorithms.
The Absolute Sound sings its praises...
"Dynamics are plentiful, musical details are well defined, and transient speed is lively, but none of these things stands out; rather, they blend into a naturalistic presentation," reports Neil Gader in his joint review of the NAD C515 BEE CD player and NAD C315 BEE integrated amp for the August 2008 issue of The Absolute Sound.
The magazine then honored the NAD C515BEE with a "Product of the Year Award" in its January 2009 issue: "It reveals orchestral minutiae, dynamic thrills, and timbral details that would have gone unheard of in a sub-$300 player a short while ago."
... and so does England's What Hi-fi?
The C515BEE also won a top rating of Five Stars in the March 2009 issue of England's What Hi-fi? magazine. "The 'BEE creates the widest, most disciplined soundstage of any sub-£200 CD player... If you value emotional communication over all else, it's one of the best budget buys around."
"It pays to choose your partners well, as this NAD system shows," notes the May 2009 issue of What Hi-Fi? in a joint review of the NAD C515 BEE CD player and NAD C315 BEE integrated amp. "It would be tough to find another budget set-up that offers so much for the money… The performance is simply huge."
A tradition of superior players
NAD has a well-deserved reputation for producing some the best performing CD Players in the world. From the mighty Masters Series M5 to the many variations of the C520 and C540 series of CD Players over the years, NAD has amassed a stack of five-star reviews, best-buy recommendations and industry awards.
Not only is the engineering and performance at world-class levels, but NAD also always finds a way to make this performance available at a remarkably low price.
Versatile play and display modes
The C515BEE is fully featured with a complete roster of disc navigation and control functions. The expected skip, search, pause, and play functions are present, as well as some more advanced features that appeal to the serious music lover.
The ability to easily program the C515BEE to play back only the desired tracks on a CD allows you to customize playback. Repeat and Repeat A-B are favorite features of musicians, allowing careful study of any given musical passage. The display can be toggled through different modes to show total playback time, time remaining, and time per track, as well as any programmed function.
The C515BEE also supports the playback of MP3 and WMA files, using the latest and best-sounding decompression algorithms. This allows the playback of CD-Rs burned on a PC with up to 10 hours of playback encoded on one disc. Of course the superb NAD digital-to-analog conversion and analog amplification stages assure the maximum possible sound quality from compressed music files.
Budget Price, Big Time Performance
Despite the budget price of the C515BEE, it enjoys the full measure of NAD performance technology. Carefully engineered circuit layouts maximize the performance of each carefully selected part, assuring the lowest noise and distortion possible.
Multiple regulated low-noise power supply circuits and individual circuit boards make sure that the delicate digital audio circuitry is well isolated from motor and display demands. Analog and digital circuits each have their own isolated supplies.
Every element of the C 515BEE's circuit is carefully chosen, from the transport to the 24-bit, 192 kHz D/A conversion, to the audio-specific analog op amps. Capacitor values and types are critical to maintain the detail, dynamics, and musical warmth of your favorite recordings, and NAD's vast experience in this area shows a nearly perfect musical balance.
Focusing on what's important
The design, performance, and price point of the C515BEE perfectly match NAD's recently introduced C315BEE integrated amplifier. Together, they make up a pair that easily beat other manufacturer's components costing twice as much.
While other manufacturers spend your money on fancy casework and colorful displays, NAD focuses on maximum performance and musicality. And that's what hi-fi is really all about.
