p8balls Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 SOLD Item Condition: As New Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Melbourne South Eastern Suburbs State: Victoria Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup Reason for selling: Upgrade Further information: Up for sale is the brilliant NAD C 658, in as new condition. Purchased brand new here in Melbourne just 3 months ago, it comes with all the original accessories, documentation and packaging. Literally just like new. What Hi-Fi 5 stars rated, this unit does it all save powering your speakers and it does it all with flair, ease and confidence whilst sounding absolutely musical with lots of transparency and details, aided by the game changing Dirac Live room correction. I was so taken by Dirac Live that I went ahead and purchased the full version license (a limited frequency version is provided by default), that of which can be transferred to the new owner for free. Only selling because I have found my endgame preamp+DAC, well at least for now (we all know how this goes), and I cannot justify keeping this amazing unit unused plus the funds would come in handy. Local sale and pickup is preferred at this point but shipping can be arranged at buyer’s cost and risk. Please PM if interested for more details.

Adjust Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Interesting Unit. With regard to the room correction do you know if it allows for custom equaliser settings or is it just an automated process? And does it come with a microphone?

p8balls Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 once the measurements have been taken using the provided mic (which is a breeze via the dirac software on a phone), a graph is presented showing the measured levels across the frequencies along with the optimization after which you can adjust as you wish (go easy lol) just like an equalizer. yes, it comes with a microphone as part of the standard accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topman_Chief Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 John Darko's review of the NAD M33 has a good section on Dirac. Worth a look if you're even remotely interested in this unit. Dirac seems to be much more powerful and capable than I had previously thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugPowderDust Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 This is a great front end unit that allows you set it up as a Roon streamer and DAC with a configurable sub output. If I didn't have a Classe CP800, this would be my next pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
