THE VERDICT
NAD's streaming preamp brings vinyl playback and Dirac Live room correction to the mix for a very complete package at an affordable price.
I'm no stranger to the network audio player/preamplifier category, having evaluated two such specimens in 2019: Cary Audio's DMS-550 and Simaudio's Moon 390. These components act as a hub for switching a range of digital and analog sources, along with STREAMING MUSIC from online services and local networked storage. The DMS-550 and Moon 390 impressed me with their versatility and sound quality, but at $5,000-plus, both are priced outside the range of an average listener. Fortunately, other options exist such as the NAD C 658, a $1,649 network audio player/ preamplifier aimed at audiophiles on a budget. How does the C 658 hold up against the pricier models? Let's give it a listen.

Got a tech question for Sound & Vision? Email us at AskSandV@gmail.com
Q If I download 24-bit high-res music from an online source such as HDtracks.com, can I then burn it to a blank DVD and play it on the DVD-Audio player in my home theater system?

One to watch Masego
The Jamaican-American sax player is shaking things up with a mix of hip-hop, electronica and breezy romanticismSearch online for “saxophone player” and you’ll probably land on KennyG. Search further and you may find Jamaican-American Masego, 25, the smoothster rehabilitating sax’s sexless image. His bronzed brass-wind peppers cleanly produced jamsthat take in jazz, hip-hop, electronica and his love of older ladies, without ever feeling cheesy. His instrument even has its own Twitteraccount and will, he says, “only play on songs that make women twerk”.Masego – real name Micah Davis – calls his music “TrapHouseJazz”, but don’t let that put you off. There’s stiff competition in the clickpit of Soundcloud rap, but with the help of his mentor, Jazzy Jeff, Masego’s music contrasts lithe and restless rhythms with a breezy romanticismthat sounds fresh, not fussy. Masego has said that “playing saxophone over trap beats … just wasn’t what you do” back home in Virginia, where southern rap looms large. But these days his music fits more with the sunny style of Solange, the Internet and Anderson .Paak. Continue reading...
