NAD C565BEE CD Player

NAD C565BEE CD Player

Long sought after as the "Best Buy" solution for the music lover on a budget, NAD has proven to be a serious contender in the ultra high end of the market. Our top performing Masters Series has won an impressive number of industry awards — from the coveted EISA award to Stereophile Class A and Hi-Fi Choice Reference status and Best Buy accolades. These premium products are at the top of the market.

Yet we all aspire to own the best we can afford. The C 565BEE, at the top of NAD's Classic Series range, has performance that is very close to our vaunted Masters Series M5 CD Player, yet costs half as much. You'll notice right away from the newly refined cosmetics and solid construction that this is one very serious high end component.
