NAD Launches Spotify Connect in M50 Digital Music Player

NAD Electronics, the highly regarded manufacturer of high-performance audio and video components, introduces Spotify Connect to its award-winning premium Masters M50 Digital Music Player. Through this strategic partnership, NAD M50 owners can now enjoy an enhanced multi-room wireless audio experience, plus instant access to Spotify Connect’s 20+ million songs and curated playlists with hassle-free control.

Streaming music from Spotify Connect is incredibly simple with the M50, which is a versatile, state-of-the-art network music player that offers countless ways to play and discover new music, including high-resolution files up to 192kHz/24-bit. While the focus of the M50 is on high-res audio listening, the addition of Spotify Connect allows music lovers the ability to playback millions of songs on the M50 using any iOS or Android device with uncompromising performance.

Listeners will appreciate the open, dynamic, and detailed sound of the M50. It’s a digital audio system with remarkable sound quality and performance, built to live on the cutting edge of functionality.

“This partnership with Spotify Connect is the perfect enhancement to the M50’s advanced digital and multi-room streaming technologies. Our customers will get the best of both worlds: true and reliable high-performance audio along with Spotify’s premium music service and its ever-expanding catalogue of songs,” says Greg Stidsen, NAD’s Director of Technology & Product Planning. “It’s a true music lover’s dream.”

NAD’s M50 will offer Spotify Connect to Spotify Premium subscribers who want true high-performance fidelity on July 1, 2014. Owners will need to upgrade their M50 Digital Music Player(s) to software version 1.10.0 and download the updated iOS App v1.10.0 or Android App v1.10.0 to be able to experience Spotify Connect.
