NAD Electronics T 778 7.2.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver

NAD Electronics T 778 Overview

The T 778 Surround Sound Receiver from NAD Electronics represents NAD s reference model in the AVR category. NAD has built a solid reputation for creating high-value, high-performance amplifiers. The T 778 builds on that reputation, exemplifying the NAD philosophies of real-world performance, simplicity of operation, and future upgradeability.

The T778 offers up to 9 channels of output, rated at 85W per channel, all channels driven an important distinction, as many surround sound receivers only report power at two or even one channel driven.

For control, a user-friendly touchscreen is available right on the front of the T 778. Additionally, the included remote has universal functionality as well as learning capability to control your other equipment. The T 778 is also integrator friendly with RS-232, IR, and 12V trigger ins and outs as well as compatibility with systems like Control 4 and Crestron.

Featuring NAD s MDC technology, the T 778 can deliver high-resolution audio and video, with the ability to upgrade in the future and avoid obsolescence. Integrated BluOS offers a high-resolution, multi-room capable, wireless streaming solution.

Modular Design Construction (MDC)

With MDC all major digital circuits can be upgraded and replaced to keep the T 778 forever young and capable. This NAD innovation is a unique architecture that keeps pace with the fast-changing world of digital formats by allowing connectivity and feature upgrades as new technology becomes available. MDC defies premature obsolescence, so you can keep pace with the latest developments in high performance AV through dealer-installed modules. Your T 778 can be upgraded as your needs and tastes develop, and you only need to replace the module you want to upgrade, not the entire AV Amplifier.

Fully Featured Surround

The T 778 carries on the enviable task of representing NAD s finest surround sound performance. It offers full HDMI video switching and surround sound decoding to 7.2.4 channels. Brimming with a full array of sophisticated features like the high resolution lossless surround formats from Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio decoding, and now object-based audio with Dolby Atmos, the T 778 provides the highest levels of performance. The surround mode of the source material is automatically detected via the digital inputs of the T 778, and the most advanced form of decoding, based on your setup, is switched in. Conversion of the encoded digital bitstream is performed with high resolution and extremely linear D/A converters carefully selected fort heir performance capabilities.

Flexible Setup

The latest HDMI features, including HDCP 2.2, 4:4:4 color resolution, High Dynamic Range and Dolby Vision video support, plus CEC/ARC, are all included. Digital inputs are available in both coaxial and optical formats to make it easy to attach all your digital sources. With BluOS NAD has made it easy to add more speakers for listening to music in additional rooms. IR repeaters, 12V triggers to automatically switch amplifiers on and off, and an RS-232 data port make it easy to connect to highly advanced automated control systems, such as Crestron and Control4. Thoughtful features like discrete On and Off codes, direct access to inputs and music presets facilitates the integration of the T778 into elaborate remote-control systems.

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 (full disclosure power), all channels driven at rated distortion. For flexibility, the amp channels are configurable to be used for surround or second zone audio. These amplifiers exhibit no crossover distortion, sonically the most annoying form of distortion, and are able to provide very high peak current for dramatic crescendos and impactful action scenes. The silent black background and explosive dynamics affordedby this amplifier technology adds drama and excitement to your musicand movies.

Dirac Live Room Correction

DIRAC Live room correction is now featured and offers a remarkable increase in fidelity by correcting both frequency response and time domain impulse response. When properly calibrated, DIRAC Live improves clarity, naturalness, and pinpoint imaging.

Multi-Room Network Music Streaming

BluOS, the high-resolution audio multi-room music player shared with NAD s sister brand Bluesound, is included in the T 778 making it unique among high end AV Amplifiers. When connected to the Internet via Ethernet or Wi-Fi the T 778 has access to thousands of Internet radio stations and over a dozen high-quality music services including Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, and many more. With full support for MQA the T 778 has the highest resolution streaming audio performance available combined with the highest definition video performance.
