It’s not often that we at What Hi-Fi? come upon a product that looks like a decidedly old-school piece of kit, and then performs much more like a pair of modern hi-fi champions.
That, though, is what we have here, in the form of NAD’s hugely impressive C 3050 (with MDC2 BluOS-D module) streaming amplifier. This just-add-speakers setup is one of a batch of new products that are forcing us to revisit our long-standing opinion that separate products always provide better results than all in-one-systems.
