NAD C446 Leaflet

Page of 2
In typical NAD fashion, we designed the C 446 Digital Media Tuner as a very uncommon music player—a gateway to 
your digital music sources and to the world’s best radio. Beneath the classic NAD chassis of the C 446 lays a uniquely 
powerful digital media player with Internet radio, FM/AM and DAB/DAB+ (where available). Included in its uncommon 
bag of tricks is the ability to stream your music collection from multiple networked storage devices using DLNA and 
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standards. Other great features include USB playback, Wi-Fi, an easy-to-use Internet 
radio portal and support for cloud music services, such as Last.fm.
> Network and Stream
We love computer music but hate computer sound. Why 
listen to your digital music through computer speakers 
when the C 446 can play it all on your performance hi-
fi  system? The C 446 utilizes an UPnP client to allow 
you to play audio fi les wherever music is stored on your 
network*, such as your computer, Android phone, Apple 
iOS device, or network hard drive. 
> Music at your fi ngertips 
Browsing your media collection is not limited to the 
control panel of the C 446. Thanks to UPnP Digital 
Audio Renderer (DAR) technology, you can browse, 
create playlists, and change songs from anywhere in 
your home using a variety of networked devices. Simply 
connect your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or PC (with 
Windows 7) to the network and start selecting music.  
> Internet Radio
Thousands of radio stations. All kinds of music. Plenty 
of Podcasts. The C 446 knows no boundaries when it 
comes to serving up great radio from around the world. 
An easy-to-navigate Internet radio portal allows you 
to browse and customise lists with all your favourite 
Internet radio stations.
* Devices with UPnP server only.
> Music First
An  audiophile-quality  24bit/192kHz  DAC  and  high 
performance analogue audio circuitry extract every 
ounce of detail from your favourite music. The C 446 
handily outperforms broadcast quality thanks to its fi nely 
tuned RF and IF sections when listening to FM/AM, and 
lovers of DAB/DAB+ digital broadcast will appreciate 
the improved audio quality compared to other radios. 
> Uncommon Flexibility
The C 446 has a chameleon nature. Analogue FM/AM
can be decoded as SPDIF digital output. Likewise, 
digital formats can be listened to using a high quality 
analogue output.  An RS-232 serial interface port allows 
easy integration with advanced home automation 
systems. You can also control and charge your iPod or 
iPhone by adding our optional IPD 2 Dock for iPod. 
> Digital Audio
The C 446 supports all the popular digital formats—
MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV, and AAC—and offers a great 
opportunity for music lovers who want the quality found 
in  high-resolution  audio  fi les.  Streaming  these  large 
fi les  to  the  C  446  is  simple  thanks  to  its  networking 
capabilities.
