NAD M50.2

Over the years I'd owned several NAD pieces, the last a stack of the "Masters Series" components.  I've enjoyed the simplicity of the design and the sound quality.  However the last few purchases were not without problems, my SACD player needed a new transport, the integrated amp I owned before that had a "right channel out" intermittent problem.  The receiver I owned before that would lose its settings.
So, I'd recommend that, if you spring for NAD equipment, make sure you have confidence that the dealer you purchase from can support your purchases.
Now that I've moved on to other brands (McIntosh & PS Audio), I'm having no equipment in the shop!

imgoodwith tools we are one of the only dealers in the country to sell most of the major streamers, including the NAD, the Naim Core, Aurender, Lumin, Baetis and a few others.

The answer to your question isn't as simple as you think as all of these products offer some things that the others don't.

In terms of sound quality the NAD is very good. 

You should contact us and we can most likely give you some good advice on what device may be the best for you.

Hi audiotroy. I don't know exactly what I want. I do not need a DAC. I have a Berkeley Alpha Reference 2 that I Love. The NAD intrigues me both because it seems simple to operate, and that I can easily rip my CDs to its hard drive. Is 2TB enough? I have about 4000 CDs but probably wouldn't rip them all. Once on the NAD, how easily can the digital files be moved off? And I do question the build quality, based on ejr1953s experience. I am also intrigued by the Aurender N10. But I am Not a computer guru, and I don't know how to easily get my CDs on the Aurender. I plan to mainly play CDs, or files of them, and also some high res. downloads. I won't stream music much, if at all. Thoughts?

I posted earlier, but I think I made an error so I just decided to redo it. 

I purchased an M50.2 recently. I was also looking for an “all-in-one”
streamer option, and was debating between this, the Aurender N10, the Aries and the Nimitra. 

In the end, even though the M50.2 doesn’t support DSD, it still hit 90% of the other stuff I wanted. It rips CDs nicely. The software (BluOS) does a good job with the metadata and CD covers, but the files are acessible via network shares if you want to do more.  Along with the conventional stereo digital outputs, it also includes HDMI for multichannel audio (assuming you can find some) but it’s nice to have the option.  It will back up data to an external HDD. The BluOS app on the iPhone works, but if you want to go with Roon instead, that’s always an option. 

The sound quality is good, and the unit is silent. No complaints there. If you need any other information, let me know.
