Flagship Surround Receiver Knows the Importance of Sonics: Future-Ready NAD T 778 Features High-Res BluOs, UHD 4K Pass-Through, Dirac Live Room Correction, Much More

NAD's flagship surround receiver, the nine-channel T 778, is unlike any other AVR on the market. Why? For starters, its Modular Design Construction with two slots prevents premature obsolescence in a world in which technology rapidly advances – and allows you to upgrade to future digital formats as they become available. Onboard BluOs-enabled high-resolution network streaming also gives you the opportunity to enjoy multi-room audio. The presence of bit-perfect UHD 4K video pass-through, Dirac Live room correction, two-way Bluetooth aptX HD, Apple AirPlay 2, MQA decoding on all inputs, and a TFT touchscreen with intuitive ergonomics further place T 778 in its own arena. And that's before you consider how much emphasis the 45.2-pound, rack-mountable unit places on audiophile sonics.

Afforded a DirectDigital ESS Sabre DAC and the company's cutting-edge Hybrid Digital Amplifier Technology, the fan-free T 778 outputs a supremely conservatively rated 80Wpc with all channels simultaneously driven at full bandwidth. It exhibits no crossover distortion and delivers incredibly black backgrounds, wide-spanning dynamics, and ample peak current. Whether you're listening to two-channel music or enjoying surround formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS Master Audio, T 778 sings a beautiful song.

Its flexibility is similarly aces. All of the latest HDMI features – HDCP 2.2, 4:4:4 color resolution, High Dynamic Range and Dobly Vision video support, and CES/ARC – come standard. Digital inputs and outputs in both the coaxial and optical domains make it easy to attach all your digital sources. In addition, digital inputs get converted to analog for use in Zone 2 with independent source selection and volume control. IR repeaters, 12V triggers to automatically switch amplifiers on and off, and an RS-232 data port invite connections to highly advanced automated control systems.

What's more, you can customize T 778 via presets that make setup and commands a cinch. For example, five independent AV presets store speaker level and tone control settings for instant recall, allowing you to tailor your system for different types of material. And encoded surround modes like Dolby Digital and DTS are automatically selected if the program is so encoded. Factor in NAD's two year parts-and-labor warranty, our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee, and the fact most competing AVRs completely overlook the importance of sound quality, and the future-ready T 778 appears ready for its closeup in your room.

"Thankfully, the receiver benefits from more amplification headroom than mostly people likely need, deliciously detailed sound, wonderful dynamics, exceptional neutrality, and fantastic dialogue intelligibility. Throw in world-class room correction and an excellent multi-room music streaming platform in the form of BluOS, and there's just so much to love about this receiver."
