Plug and Play

Compact and minimalist in design, the NAD CS1 has a pair of line-level analog RCA outputs for connection to a stereo receiver, integrated amplifier, preamplifier, or a pair of powered speakers. Alternatively, you can use the CS1's optical or coaxial output to send digital audio to an AV receiver, external DAC, or a pair of digital-in powered speakers, at up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution.

You can connect the CS1 to your home network via Wi-Fi or a cable connection from your Ethernet LAN port to your network router or access point, or use Bluetooth® to pair the CS1 with your mobile device.

No need to install special applications to play music through the NAD CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer. Using Bluetooth, you can stream audio from any app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

You'll get even better sound via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. CS1 supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream CD-resolution audio from any app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or from an iTunes library on a Windows PC. With Chromecast, you can choose the music you want to listen to in any Cast-enabled app on a mobile device or personal computer, then transfer playback to the CS1 at up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution.

Spotify and Tidal subscribers can nominate songs in the apps for these services, then transfer playback from their device to the CS1. Roon subscribers can play music from their digital libraries and Roon-supported streaming services.
