New Acoustic Dimension, NAD for short, a company that has dedicated itself to producing good quality sounding equipment for a long time, has now brought out a new model – the NAD T587. It may be somewhat surprising then, that this German-English company which was founded in the 70s is now entering the market for video equipment with this new product. It has brought out its first Blu-ray player, which of course also doubles up as a CD player for “audiophiles”.
Sticking to their motto “Music first”, the company has also concentrated on what they know best during the development of the NAD T587 – excellent sound. This Blu-ray player supports all popular sound formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and can also transfer decoded or digital signals to the AV receiver to be converted, meaning that older multiple-channel amplifiers can be connected to the player through HDMI. The player can also broadcast through Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus via a digital or coaxial HDMI 1.3 connection.
This model can of course work with all current audio and video media formats, including SDTV and HDTV and guarantees excellent picture reproduction quality. This unit also has many connection possibilities. The player can read these blue discs very quickly and features both BD Live and BD Java.
The NAD T587 Blu-ray player should be out from mid-December. The manufacturer has given it an RRP of around £1120.
