New pricing is hard to pin down because “NAD v1 streaming” does not identify a single model with confidence; current NAD streamers and streaming components span well above this level. Against six comparable used listings, though, US$699 is a strong deal: it sits below the US$789 25th-percentile price and far below the US$2,037 median.
The appeal is NAD’s generally capable digital architecture and BluOS ecosystem, which offers broad streaming support, high-resolution playback, and straightforward multi-room control. Before buying, confirm the exact model, BluOS compatibility, working network connection, remote, power supply, and any included modules or accessories. If it turns out to be an M10, C 658, or another higher-tier unit rather than a lesser streamer, US$699 looks especially attractive; if the model remains unspecified, those details are essential to validate the bargain.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
