DVD-receiver NAD L73Deceptive appearance of L73 - a new DVD-receiver of NAD. Frankly, when you look at the front panel with its ridiculous oval buttons, tray loader and display, can not help thinking that the same frivolity going on in his inside. But it is necessary to look at the L73 closely, and from those thoughts and memories remain. Durable stamped chassis, milled from solid metal plate thick front panel, the abundance of gold-plated jacks on the rear panel of the case and even the inscription "Custom Made", - all this testifies to the high level of the machine.
The promotional booklet emphasizes that L73 was originally designed as a complete alternative to split-quality Hi-Fi-components. The device reads the DVD-Video and DVD-Audio, VCD and SVCD, CD and CD-R/RW c mp3, WMA and JPEG. Available decoders DTS, Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II, advanced surround modes and extras playing a stereo, Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone. In the audio path used high-quality ADC and DAC produced by Crystal with 24-bit resolution. Signal to L73 from external sources can be summed in the figure (there are optical and coaxial inputs), in an analog stereo (there are two entrances) and 5.1 channel. Well-developed and switching of video - one of the external AV-devices connected to the system by means of the component lines, and the rest - by using S-Video or composite connections. The tuner supports RDS.
Considerable weight of the unit is due to a strong supply system. Of passport characteristics that L73 is capable of output only 5 x 45 watts, but with an important caveat - all channels at the same time! So the real dynamic quality amplifier sections are very high. Working in stereo receiver in the long mode freely "pumped" up to 60 W into 8-ohm speakers, and in a short time - a lot more.
On the main characteristics deserves a special mention. The image quality of L73, to be honest, for me the sensation was gone - and you get the same from the usual DVD-player cost about $ 250. But remember the sound - captures the freedom and detail. There is no trace of aggression and the machine does not lose strength even at very dense musical spectrum. Perfectly formed the bottom of the musical range, airy and full of top. Drums emphasized attack (and only slightly pinched reverberation). But the accuracy of the soundstage can envy all holders of AV-receiver are the same value. |
