Any updates on this? Did the M-10 start to sound better after a bit of break in?
Battle of the maxi all in one integrateds: Naim Uniti Atom vs Nad M10
We had our first trial of the new Nad M10 intergrated amplifier an 100 watt Hypex amp streaming dac with Dirac Room correction vs the Naim Uniti Atom a 40 watt class A/B amp streaming dac on a pair of Legacy Signatures.
notes: the Nad is brand new no break in time and room correction not employed.
We had a client who just purchased the Legacys and was looking to complete his system with an affordable all in one streaming amp so these two products were the perfect match to the client's budget and need for a simple good sounding compact easy to use product.
The difference in sound was striking the Naim was warmer, puncher and much more involving. The Nad was clean and more powerful but way less involving.
So questioning, it it the true digital Hypex amp sound or is it lack of breakin?
Also wondering if when we switch on the Dirac room correction will the Nad pull ahead?
Does anyone have an NAD M10 who might want to comment on its performance?
If you think that we don't like the Nad M10 that is not true it might work out great for many listeners and its feature set is awesome, Blue OS, 100 watt per channel, Dirac, Apt x blue tooth, and it is $800 less expensive than the Naim.
