NAD’s reference Audio Video Receiver (AVR) is a cutting-edge powerhouse for state of the art music and home theater. Well known for our high value/ high performance reputation in the AVR category, the brand’s reference model builds on that legacy with an expansion of unwavering philosophy of real-world performance, simplicity of operation, and future upgradeability.

Efficient Distortion-free Amplification
The T 778 features the latest developments in NAD’s Hybrid Digital technology to create 9 high current/high power channels of amplification with improved efficiency. Designed with NAD’s full disclosure approach to power ratings, the NAD AVR conservatively delivers 85W FDP and 9 x 140W FTC, all channels driven at rated distortion. For flexibility, the amp channels are configurable to be used for surround or second zone audio. The silent black background and explosive dynamics afforded by this amplifier technology adds lifelike realism, drama and excitement to all your music and movies

Fully Featured Surround
The T 778 is second-to-none in terms of flexibility and up-to-the-minute digital technology. Only NAD offers Modular Design Construction (MDC), the company’s proven method for preventing premature obsolescence. 7.1.4 Dolby® Atmos™, DTS® Master Audio combine with Dirac Live™ room correction to deliver hyper-realism that captures every dimension of a performance. Add bit-perfect 4K UHD video pass-through and the T 778 delivers the most accurate sound and image experience you’ve ever had. Musical performance is outstanding with High Res Multi-room streaming via BluOS.

    Recently upgraded to the NAD T778 from an Arcam AVR-350. I was concerned about some of the reviews I was reading online regarding quality of the unit. However, I can say those concerns were alleviated the moment I hooked this receiver up. This receiver is simply amazing; I noticed immediate detail in everything I tested on the unit compared to my prior Arcam. I loved my Arcam and for this receiver to top it in my opinion is something I was not expecting. I have had it for a few weeks now and am thoroughly enjoying it; I just hope it will stand the test of time like my prior receiver. In regards to AudioLab, this was my first experience with them and they are top notch; great service and they gained a customer with their service!
