The NAD C 545BEE will put a smile on your face and get your toes tapping. This CD player delivers exceptionally clear, spacious sound with excellent low-frequency response, thanks to its carefully optimized circuit layout and high-quality internal components. A beefy toroidal transformer supplies a steady stream of power for lively performance and musicality. The power supply features separate regulators for the analog and digital circuits, isolating them electronically to minimize interference. And a high-resolution Wolfson digital-to-analog converter helps this player deliver refined musical sound that'll make you want to explore your CD collection all over again.

KEEP READING

You'll enjoy playback from a variety of discs, ranging from regular CDs to home-burned CD-Rs filled with MP3 and WMA files. If your CD library includes albums with CD Text, the C 545BEE can show information such as song titles directly on its front-panel display. The full-function remote gives you command of the basics like "play" and "stop," plus access to repeat, random, and program modes from the comfort of your favorite chair.
