Powerful Sound, Versatile Design

Offering true Hi-Fi sound and connectivity, the NAD Electronics D 3020 V2 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier allows you to connect your device to your sound system while amplifying it for warm, detailed audio. Featuring cutting-edge high-speed digital technology, this amplifier is designed for modern music lovers who want the flexibility to switch between listening to vinyl and streaming music from their computer. The versatile design is suited to anyone who craves high quality audio but enjoys listening to music from a variety of mediums. This stereo amplifier is made with a simple but powerful design to accommodate all of your audio amplification needs. 

Bold Sound at Any Volume

Designed for crisp, clear audio at any volume, this audio amplifier is deceptively efficient in amplifying sound. Although it only offers 40W per channel, the small form factor is able to drive speakers to extreme volumes without adding unwanted noise or distortion. The unique NAD PowerDrive allows the low impedance drive (current) and the high dynamic power (voltage) to pass through at remarkably low distortion levels, minimizing the noise that accumulates as the signal passes through the amplifier and into your speaker system. This home stereo amplifier also features a cool Bass EQ circuit that's ingenious for getting big sound from small speakers, without overdriving or damaging their ported woofers. While other amplifiers may compromise the audio signal at higher volumes, this power amplifier focuses on increasing the volume without sacrificing audio quality, resulting in a bright, vibrant sound from any medium. As a result, this home amplifier is able to make your speakers sound much more powerful and accurate than they actually are, improving your entire sound system as soon as you hook them up. 

Impressive Connections for Any Device

Not only does this amplifier offer crisp, clear audio at any volume, but it has a variety of connection ports that allow you to connect virtually any device, so you can enjoy your music and movies through your Hi-Fi system with ease. With coaxial and optical inputs, you can connect a variety of digital sources including CD players and DVD players, as well as modern video streaming devices and cable or satellite receivers. The analog inputs offer added versatility for your sound system, and this home audio amplifier even includes a built-in moving magnet phono input so you can connect your turntable and listen to vinyl through your custom Hi-Fi system. 

Wireless Convenience with Bluetooth

Although this stereo power amplifier is equipped to handle vintage vinyl and other analog sources, it is also fully-equipped with digital audio systems and Bluetooth. This wireless connection allows you to sync your amplifier with virtually any portable speaker, so you can enjoy vinyl through your portable sound system with the crisp, detailed audio that this power amplifier provides. Not only is this cordless design convenient, but it allows for ultimate versatility as you can switch between portable speakers and a mounted sound system in seconds.

D 3020 V2 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier
Floored by how well this amp performs. Use it with a nice turntable and Chromecast audio with a mini TOS link cable. Drives old Klipsch KG 3.5 speakers to amazing levels of detail with superb energy and dynamics.

My records and CDs are new again
I legitimately love the sound of this thing. I love vinyl, but I listened to a well-known CD first and it blew my mind. Previous amp was an entry-level Yamaha receiver from the 90s. Everything is so clear and (rhythmically) sharp, brilliant balance of treble and bass, so much fun to listen to; makes my collection sound fresh. If you are on a budget like I am, don’t hesitate, it doesn’t suck!

Best bang for the buck integrated amp
This can't be beat for the price. Sound is fantastic, footprint is minimal, set up was a breeze. My TV remote was easy to program to control volume. I wish it had a touch more power, but at this price I can't complain.

Does this need to stand vertically?
A shopper on Oct 30, 2020
  Thanks for your question. The unit can be placed horizontally but note that the standby and input select buttons would be on the side.
Does it have USB Input?
A shopper on Aug 6, 2019
  Yes there is a USB in.
