I also hope to get a chance to hear an M33 to compare to my 440 Pro. Unfortunately, the M33s are just not yet readily available. That will change.
My experience with NAD in the past has been quite positive. I owned an M2 prior to jumping into Devialet. NAD gets very high marks for innovation and good bang-for-the-buck products. But, IMO, they really haven't achieved what I consider a true high-end solution. The M33 is likely to be their best to date. I suspect it will all come down to just how well they've integrated their DAC and Putzey hybrid amplification. No doubt that the many bells and whistles will make it shine and that alone will make it popular in it's price bracket, but to be a giant killer... to be an Expert Pro killer, it will all come down to sound quality. Can't wait to find out just how good that'll be.
Watch out Devialet.... they're coming for you.
