NAD D 3020 V2 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier

The NAD D 3020 V2 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier brings classic NAD musicality into a modern, space-saving integrated amp built for today’s listening. Designed for desktop, TV, and compact hi-fi systems, it combines HybridDigital amplification with a high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz DAC to deliver clean detail, strong dynamics, and a balanced, engaging sound—even with real-world speakers in real rooms.

Connectivity is where the D 3020 V2 shines: stream wirelessly via Bluetooth with aptX, connect a TV or digital source through optical or coaxial inputs, and spin records with the built-in Moving Magnet phono stage featuring accurate RIAA equalization and infrasonic filtering. Performance tools like Bass EQ and soft clipping, plus a pre-out for adding a subwoofer or external amplification, make it easy to tailor your system for fuller sound and long-term listening comfort.
