Specification Sheet
Fully Featured Surround
The T 778 carries on the enviable task of representing NAD’s finest
surround sound performance. It offers full HDMI video switching and
surround sound decoding to 7.2.4 channels. Brimming with a full array
of sophisticated features like the high resolution lossless surround
formats from Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio decoding, and now
object-based audio with Dolby Atmos, the T 778 provides the highest
levels of performance. The surround mode of the source material is
automatically detected via the digital inputs of the T 778, and the
most advanced form of decoding, based on your setup, is switched in.
Conversion of the encoded digital bitstream is performed with high
resolution and extremely linear D/A converters carefully selected for
their performance capabilities.
Ecient Distortion-free Amplification
The T 778 features the latest developments in NAD’s Hybrid Digital
technology to create nine high current and high power channels
of amplification. These amplifiers exhibit no ‘crossover distortion,’
sonically the most annoying form of distortion, and are able to provide
very high peak current for dramatic crescendos and impactful action
scenes. The silent black background and explosive dynamics afforded
by this amplifier technology adds drama and excitement to your music
and movies.
Undistort Your Listening Room
DIRAC Live room correction is now featured and offers a remarkable
increase in fidelity by correcting both frequency response and time
domain impulse response. When properly calibrated, DIRAC Live
improves clarity, naturalness, and pinpoint imaging.
Multi-room Network Music Streaming
BluOS™, the high resolution audio multi-room music player shared with
NAD’s sister brand Bluesound, is included in the T 778 making it unique
among high end AV Amplifiers. When connected to the Internet via
Ethernet or Wi-Fi the T 778 has access to thousands of Internet radio
stations and over a dozen high quality music services including Spotify,
Tidal, Deezer, and many more. With full support for MQA the T 778 has
the highest resolution audio performance available combined with the
highest definition video performance.
Flexible Setup
The latest HDMI features, including HDCP 2.2, 4:4:4 color resolution,
High Dynamic Range and Dolby Vision video support, plus CEC/ARC,
are all included. Digital inputs are available in both coaxial and optical
formats to make it easy to attach all your digital sources. With BluOS™
we have also made it easy to add more speakers for listening to music
in additional rooms. IR repeaters, 12V triggers to automatically switch
amplifiers on and off, and an RS-232 data port makes it easy to connect
to highly advanced automated control systems, such as Crestron and
Control4. Thoughtful features like discrete On and Off codes, direct
access to inputs and music presets facilitates the integration of the T
778 into elaborate remote-control systems.
Customize with AV Presets
The T 778’s sleek LCD touch panel display makes setup and control
easier than ever before. Unique features like AV presets and a
completely flexible input setup allow unprecedented flexibility and
ease of use. The T 778 offers five independent AV presets that store
speaker level and tone control settings for instant recall, making it easy
to custom tailor your system for different types of program material.
Encoded surround modes like Dolby Digital and DTS are automatically
selected if the program is so encoded. The T 778 also remembers your
last used settings when switched in and out of Standby mode.
Complete and Compact
The T 778 combines all the control, decoding functions, and nine
channels of amplification in one compact chassis that offers many
options for installation in the home. Because of its highly efficient
design the T 778 is compact, ultra quiet and is rack mountable for
integration into complex home entertainment systems. The T 778 is an
excellent example of the NAD Design Team’s expertise in digital
decoding stages, video engineering, and analogue amplification to
offer the best overall performance. Along with the new touch screen
and ergonomic refinements that simplify operation, the T 778 can be
the dream command centre of your home entertainment system.
