NAD C568 CD Player | The Listening Post | TLPCHC TLPWLG

#NAD #C568 CD Player #unboxed The C568 takes the superb performance of NAD's 5-star rated C 565BEE and steps it up to the next level. Every aspect of sonic performance is enhanced and refined, making the C 568 the ideal companion to NAD's C 368 amplifier, or any system in need of a performance upgrade. Besides the new, more refined cosmetics, the circuit layout and component choices of the C 568 have been extensively updated since the C 565BEE’s reign. The cumulative effect of these changes is dramatic, improving low frequency slam and extension, while maintaining the pace and timing for which the C 565BEE was so lavishly praised. Image depth and scale are further enhanced while retaining the timbral accuracy and lucid harmonic structure of its predecessor.
Features and Circuitry
Creating one’s own favourite compilation CD-R and CD-RW’s on a CD ripper is becoming ever more popular, and unlike older CD players, the C 568 will easily play these discs, even those encoded with MP3 and WMA compression. Nearly 10 hours of music can be recorded onto one CD-R when using 128kps compression allowing ‘all day’ background music listening. NAD have also included a number of additional features to make your listening more enjoyable: RANDOM gives the listener a random selection of all tracks on the disc in play, and REPEAT allows repeat playing of either the entire disc or individual tracks. Individual tracks can also be quickly accessed using the SKIP function (Forward and Back), while the SCAN function (Forward and Back) gives listeners the opportunity to reach specific sections of the track.
It’s All About the Detail
In the case of the NAD C 568, careful attention has been paid so that best use of the ever-increasing number of products now available with digital inputs (outboard D to A converters, AV Receivers, etc) can be made. The coaxial output is buffered and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself, and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise 75 Ohm impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream. An optical Toslink output is also provided allowing connection to devices that only provide this option. Supplied with the new NAD CD-8 full function remote control, the C 568 offers all the features described above from the comfort of your listening chair. On top of that, the remote control handset gives you direct track access and programming facilities, saving the user’s time when they’re storing preferred song titles. Up to 20 tracks can be programmed with the ability to delete tracks without using the program function by simply using the DELETE key. Delivering a rewarding and outstanding performance, the C 568 has set a new benchmark in the world of CD players.

I'm looking for a good classic CD player and I've just started thinking about the unit CD from NAD and you've just made the unboxing. That's why I like your channel! 😁I wish you make some deep unboxing and look inside the units you present on the channel. It would be also interesting. Thanks.

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks for watching Grzegorz. We open the lid every now and again, on a few rock star units. Not often though, as images inside units is often widely available.

[@clydedickens3762]

Gotta love how stuff is tossed

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks! Yes - We like having a little fun

[@EddieJazzFan]

I'm on the fence between this and the similarly priced Marantz. Any advice?

[@TLPCHC]

The NAD shoudl sound better for the money

[@gcahill51]

What did you decide? Marantz has discontinued the 6006 and the 6007 seems to be on its way out in favor of pricier 8005, which is more of a streamer.

[@gcahill51]

@@TLPCHC Why do you say that? It seems to have a lot of advanced features

[@EddieJazzFan]

@@gcahill51 I bought the Schiit MODI (DAC) for $99 and have it hooked up to my old Sony CD player. Big improvement for now--until the Sony stops working.

[@DJM626]

@@gcahill51 I think the CD6007 is far from being on its way out. These are backordered everywhere as there was a fire where their chips areanufactured. This unit was just released last year. There is a waiting list for this player everywhere.

Ha ha i think he meant top left for the logo not top right

[@TLPCHC]

Yes - Probably. (Stage left, vs right I guess)
