As audiophiles, we’re always on the lookout for that perfect blend of performance, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. The M10 V3 not only meets these criteria but exceeds them in ways that will make even the most discerning audio enthusiasts sit up and take notice.

A Sleek Powerhouse for the Modern Audiophile

The NAD M10 V3 is a marvel of engineering that combines a sophisticated music streamer with a powerful 100-watt-per-channel amplifier in a single, stylish chassis. Its compact form factor and elegant minimalist design, featuring a solid brushed aluminium chassis and Gorilla Glass top and front panels, make it a visual treat that seamlessly blends into any living space.

But don’t let its size fool you – this little powerhouse packs a serious punch. The Hybrid Digital amplifier, based on NCore class-D circuitry, delivers thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail that will breathe new life into your favourite tracks.

BluOS: The Heart of Your Audio Ecosystem

At the core of the M10 V3’s user experience is the acclaimed BluOS multi-room music platform. This intuitive system integrates dozens of streaming music services, allowing you to queue up any music you desire using the BluOS app and hear it in pristine high fidelity through your favourite loudspeakers.

The M10 V3 supports a wide array of audio formats, including high-resolution files and MQA, ensuring that you’re getting the absolute best quality from your digital music collection. Whether you’re streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, or playing locally stored files, the M10 V3 handles it all with aplomb.

Unparalleled Connectivity and Flexibility

One of the standout features of the M10 V3 is its incredible flexibility. It truly embodies the “Just Add Speakers” philosophy, allowing you to create a high-end audio system with minimal fuss. But it doesn’t stop there – the M10 V3 can be the heart of a wireless 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2-channel surround sound system, opening up new possibilities for immersive audio experiences.

The connectivity options are equally impressive. With HDMI eARC, USB inputs, digital and analogue inputs, and even a high-quality MM phono stage, the M10 V3 is ready to handle any source you throw at it. The inclusion of AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, along with two-way Qualcomm aptX HD Bluetooth, ensures that you’re never more than a tap away from your music, regardless of the device you’re using.

Room Perfect Sound with Dirac Live

The M10 V3 takes things a step further with its Dirac Live Room Correction capabilities. This advanced technology analyses your room’s acoustic properties and adjusts the output to compensate for any anomalies, resulting in a more accurate and immersive listening experience.

What’s more, the M10 V3 is set to support Dirac Live Bass Control via an optional license by the end of 2024. This will unlock the ability to optimise multiple subwoofers and co-optimise subwoofers and speakers, taking your listening experience to new heights.
