Expert Insight
I cannot think of another product at a comparable price that comes close to the M66 in performance and flexibility, let alone one that surpasses it and is more deserving of my recommendation. I urge you to consider auditioning the M66, particularly if your stereo system includes high-quality subwoofers. If it doesn’t, adding subwoofers and the M66 is worth considering too. In my system, whether paired with the Anthem M1s or the NAD M23s, the M66’s control was exemplary, and its performance was stellar.

NAD M66 Q&A:
Is the NAD M66 a streamer and a preamp, or do I need separate components?
Yes—M66 combines a BluOS network streamer, high-end DAC, and full-function preamplifier in one chassis, so you can run digital and analogue sources into a power amplifier directly.
Does the M66 support room correction?
Yes. It includes Dirac Live Room Correction and supports Bass Control features for optimizing low-frequency integration with subwoofers.
What music services can I stream with BluOS?
BluOS supports many major platforms including Tidal, Qobuz (and Qobuz Connect), Deezer, Spotify/Spotify Connect, Amazon Music HD, SiriusXM, and more, plus internet radio options like TuneIn and iHeartRadio.
Can I connect my TV to the M66?
Yes. The M66 includes HDMI eARC, allowing you to connect compatible TVs and route audio through your two-channel system with convenient control.
Does the M66 have phono inputs for a turntable?
Yes. It includes an MM/MC phono stage, supporting both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
How many subwoofers can I connect?
The M66 provides four configurable subwoofer outputs, making it ideal for advanced two-channel systems with multi-sub setups.
Does it work well with balanced (XLR) systems?
Yes. It includes balanced XLR inputs and supports balanced outputs, ideal for longer cable runs and low-noise system matching with high-performance power amps.
Is the NAD M66 future-upgradeable?
Yes. It includes two MDC2 expansion slots designed for future hardware upgrades as formats and technologies evolve.
I just got the NAD M66 from ListenUp.com, and honestly, I’m over the moon with this purchase! Unpacking this was an event by itself—the sleek design and that massive touchscreen are just stunning. It looks like a piece of modern art in my living room.
Setting it up was a snap, which was a relief. The touchscreen isn’t just for show; it makes controlling the system super intuitive. I had it running in no time, streaming music through my house. The sound? Incredible. There's clarity and depth in the music that I just haven't heard from other systems. It handles everything from my chill playlists to rock concerts with ease.
The M66 has turned into my go-to for streaming music. The BluOS app works like a charm, giving me access to heaps of high-res music services. I love how it seamlessly integrates with my existing smart home setup, too. I can tell Alexa to play something when I’m cooking and it just happens—like magic.
But the real surprise has been the room correction feature. My living room has always been a bit echoey, but after running the Dirac Live calibration, the difference in sound quality was night and day. Also, the thought that I can connect up to four subs and manage them so precisely with this thing is mind-blowing.
And yeah, for someone who still loves vinyl, it’s pretty cool that I can play my records and have the sound fill up more than just one room without losing that warm vinyl feel.
Buying from ListenUp.com was smooth sailing—great customer support and the shipping was quicker than expected. Overall, the NAD M66 isn’t just a piece of tech; it’s the heart of my home’s audio system now. Every time I listen, I find something new to love about it. Absolutely recommend it if you’re serious about your sound!
