NAD Direct Digital

This awesome little system came from our undeniable passion for clean, pure, vivid music. At the heart of the NAD VISO 1 is our proprietary Direct Digital amplifier technology—the same technology introduced in our top-of-the-line M2 Direct Digital Amplifier, and critically acclaimed worldwide. The NAD VISO 1 offers two major advances in iPod music systems: it plays the music stored on your iPod in its native digital form, completely bypassing the limiting audio circuits of the iPod, and the processing power inherent in Direct Digital technology allows the speakers to be optimized for sonic performance. We teamed up with our award-winning sister company, PSB Speakers, to make the NAD VISO 1 the ultimate compact music system with reduced cabinet resonances and enhanced acoustic radiation giving it the same musical authenticity and acoustic performance that has set PSB designs apart from all others over the last 40 years. Completely software-defined and controlled, the NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System is the ultimate performance in a brilliant design.

The best sounding Smart Music™ system in the world. Period.
