You can really savor your CD collection with the NAD C 565BEE. It "upsamples" CD data to create a more accurate representation of the original analog waveform, resulting in sound that's truer to how the artist recorded it. The meticulously laid out circuits consist of short signal paths and components carefully chosen for their sonic performance. This includes two state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converters from Wolfson Microelectronics, which offer 24-bit resolution and a 192kHz sampling rate that perfectly complements this player's upsampling capability. Pop in your favorite disc and treat yourself to warm, open sound with crisp highs and decisive bass.

KEEP READING

Listen to more than just CDs
The C 565BEE includes a couple features you don't often find on a CD player — a USB port and an optical digital input. The USB port lets you plug in a thumb drive or MP3 portable to take advantage of this player's superior performance with your digital music library. And the optical digital input lets you do the same with a different source like a digital tape deck, MiniDisc player, or video game console.

Intuitive controls
A rotary knob on the front panel makes it easy to control basic functions. Simply turn the knob clockwise to skip forward, and counterclockwise to go back. Push the knob to play, and push it again to pause. The front panel also includes buttons for more advanced functions like random and repeat modes, but still maintains a clean, uncluttered look. CD Text and song information from MP3 files are shown on the front panel's two-line display, along with time, track, and other program data simultaneously.

Features

Disc Compatibility: The NAD C 565BEE Single Disc CD Player can play CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.

CD-TEXT: The NAD C 565BEE supports CD-Text information such as artist name and track titles. The CDs used must contain CD-Text information for this feature to work.

MP3/WMA Playback: The C 565BEE supports MP3 and WMA files that have been recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW discs, or stored on a USB device.

Wolfson DAC: Two 24-bit Wolfson digital to analog converters (DACs) are used for the CD transport, the optical digital input, and the USB port. The DACs are capable of sampling rates up to 192 kHz.

USB Input: The USB port on the front panel allows connection of a flash or disc drive (HDD may require an outboard power supply). MP3 or WMA files saved on the drive are then routed to the C 565BEE's DAC. Up to 128 folders, each with up to 511 files and bit rates up to 320 kbps are supported.

Optical Input: You can utilize the C 565BEE's Wolfson DAC for another digital source using the rear panel optical digital input. The input will accept sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz.

SRC: A Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) circuit is built into the C 565BEE that changes from the 44.1 kHz CD sampling rate to 96 kHz or 192 kHz, enabling a smoother conversion from digital to analog.

Digital Filter: There are five digital filters to choose from, offering the ability to tune the player by ear. The digital filter is applied only to the analog outputs.

Display Dimmer: The Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) has two brightness settings, or it can be turned off.

Wireless Remote Control: In addition the unit's from panel controls, the player includes a dedicated full-feature IR wireless remote control for easy operation.

Input and Output Notes

Digital Outputs: Two digital outputs, one optical (Toslink) and one coaxial (RCA), are provided for sending signal to the digital input terminals of a receiver, outboard D/A converter, or CD recorder.

Analog Output: The CD player also features RCA stereo outputs for analog connection, utilizing the high quality Wolfson DACs.

12 Volt Trigger In: This unit can be turned on/off by another device; the +12 volt trigger input is a 3.5mm mini-jack. When a cable is plugged into this jack the front panel and remote power commands are disabled.

RS 232: The RS-232 port allows connection to a compatible PC or external whole-house control system from companies such as AMX or Crestron.

IR In: This 3.5mm mini-jack input is used to control this unit using an optional infrared repeater or the IR output of another component.
