PRECISION YOU CAN HEAR
Developed by MQA Labs and implemented by NAD, QRONO d2a is a time-domain filtering technology that improves resolution and timing accuracy during digital-to-analogue conversion. By replacing traditional digital filters with a more precise solution, QRONO helps preserve critical timing information in the audio signal. The result is smoother, more lifelike playback with improved imaging and clarity, especially on recordings rich in spatial detail and acoustic nuance.EASY SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The C 589 offers a full range of output options to accommodate both classic and modern hi-fi setups. For analogue systems, stereo RCA and balanced XLR outputs provide clean signal delivery with low noise and distortion. On the digital side, coaxial, optical, and AES/EBU outputs allow seamless connection to high-end DACs and digital processors. This versatility makes the C 589 an easy fit within virtually any system, whether you're building from scratch or upgrading an existing setup.
