Affordable Wireless DAC Is Part of the Company’s Focus In Digital Audio

CEDIA Expo Indianapolis IN, September 7, 2011 -– NAD Electronics, the highly regarded manufacturer of high-performance audio/video components, announced their DAC 1 ($300 MSRP) an affordable Wireless Audio USB Digital-to-Analog Converter. As one of several new models in NAD’s leadership position in digital audio, the DAC 1 features Point-to-Point Wireless Audio that transmits uncompressed 16/48 music.

The DAC 1 is simple to install and easy to use and no wireless network is needed. The unit’s transmitter plugs directly into the computer’s USB port (PC or Mac) and it serves as a sound card to digitally transmit audio to the hifi system. Measuring a mere 5.3” x 1.38” x 2.75” and weighing less than a pound, the DAC 1 has a range up to 120 feet and can be expected to reach 75 feet in a typical home.

The DAC 1 is a simple solution that will satisfy music lovers who want digital audio from their computer yet with a quality hi-fi experience.”
